theoldgit Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 ^^^^ Yes, I agree. Last year I saw a young girl fall off her motorbike after being hit in the face by a water gun, the following truck wiped her out. You will understand why I don't understand why the Songkran festival has moved so far away from it's traditional roots and turned into drunken revellers just wanted to hurt people. But hey ho, it's Songkran, I must lighten up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey ho, it's Songkran, I must lighten up. Totally agree OldGit. 15-25 years ago it was still a delightful experience and has deteriorated since to the mindless, dangerous nonsense it is today (and not just in major towns). The current H2O guns on sale are bigger than Rambo's bazookas (apart from hosepipes I've seen on use for at least 5 years now in Da Mango Yaai)! In general, levels of intelligence here, if they grow at all , do so at a very leisurely pace, so I'll hang in here for another ten years! Social research you know...someone has to do it!

Songbkk2 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 (edited) Songkran is definately on in Khao san road. I went there yesterday late afternoon/night and it was fully packed with thai and tourists. Gogogo! Edited April 14, 2010 by Songbkk2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
