gotlost Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 T_Dog, they might still be throwing water about, but i believe the events are over. Anyone can confirm? The events are over, Yes. Water throwing, keep a rain coat handy for the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackr Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Unfortunately both my camera and my mobile were inadequately protected by plastic bags and tape. Next year I will buy a waterproof digital for the event and leave the mobile at home! Dunkies work real well for protecting mobiles, especially if it's a Siemens.

limegreenpatato Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 the only person i know that got in an accident, got knocked right off his scooter cause a thai hit him in the face with a bucket of water on the road from chiang mai to sankamphaeng. Id like to know if the people bashing the "farang" are thai. Cause the all time worst thing about thailand is foreingers that think they are thai.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 (edited) the all time worst thing about thailand is foreingers that think they are thai. I always take it as a great compliment when Thai people tell me I'm more Thai than them. Even if it's meant only semi-complimentally. (not sure if that's a word.)

T_Dog Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 T_Dog, they might still be throwing water about, but i believe the events are over. Anyone can confirm? Yep, the major events are over. Today though we brought new years gifts, mostly food, to the elders in my wife's village. They in turn tied ropes on our wrists, wishing us well for the coming year. Others offered sacred water to the elders. The Lanna Thai culture on Songkran runs deep, and it is a lot more than just throwing water. Cool stuff, loaded with respect, and like Winnie, I'm already looking forward to next year. Thanks for posting the video of the rocking side car! Captures a lot of the essence of Songkran!

Oh... so that's why my ancient mother in law sent via the wife some goodies in banana leaf for me to eat. I haven't actually opened the banana leaf to see what's inside, they are a few days old now. Hope it's not fish. Here boy!! Edited April 16, 2010 by whiterussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
