Jingthing Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 OK, the Songkran dates this year are the 13th to the 15th. The 13th is a Wednesday. So masses of people will be leaving Bangkok jamming up the roads starting when? SATURDAY April 9 perhaps? Or earlier/later? Thanks for the info if you know. 13 April 2011 (Wednesday) Songkran Songkran is the traditional Thai new year, generally celebrated as a water festival. National Holiday 14 April 2011 (Thursday) Songkran Second day of this three-day holiday. National Holiday 15 April 2011 (Friday) Songkran Third of the three days of Songkran.

bkkjames Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Those who take the monday and tues off will start jamming the roads on the preceding fri /sat thankfully. Because of this outbound should be fairly spread out-the return though will be a different story I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semper Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 JT, leave the traffic jam problems to your Baht Bus driver, and just enjoy the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaihome Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Songkran is the best week to be in Bangkok. Traffic is great, even better then during New Years. TH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreams Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I think the most jam would happen on 10th and 18th April. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raylo Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I think the most jam would happen on 10th and 18th April. IMO We found out yesterday that buses going south from CR direction have limited seating and return (BKK - CR) nil for the next few weeks. That was only SOmbat but indicates to me that the exodus ahs started! Therefore the traffic madness follows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
