April 12, 201114 yr Go out in the mornings and avoid the crowds throwing water then stay at home and drink whisky is the solution for me
April 12, 201114 yr Yes...missed one great category. Stock up yesterday and don't leave home all week! Oh...and drink beer...
April 12, 201114 yr Yes...missed one great category. Stock up yesterday and don't leave home all week! Oh...and drink beer... Exactly !!! The fridge and freezer are full. My Songkran experience is limited to a visit from family members who come to pay their respects and throw a thimble of scented water over my left shoulder muttering sawatdee pimai. It's a great time for small children but that's it. Yermanee
April 12, 201114 yr cycling; same as last year but new location - now Chanthaburi 20km each way to the beach; they can throw as much water as they like, I'll accept just a few alcoholic offerings, get my face painted if offered, and remember not to wear a good white t-shirt this year. Can't beat it, don't want to sit inside and try to avoid it
April 12, 201114 yr Get out of the country and don't come back until it's finished. If you live in a major metro area, not bad advise. If like us, and are outside a bit...sit in the back yard in the pool and have a beer. You'd never know it was Songkran...
April 12, 201114 yr I always leave just before Songkran, but I get just as wet. This is typical of what I have to put up with at this time of year.

I really love the sound of that! Here in BKK my cycling is limited to 30 minutes morning and evening around the village. It's way too dangerous to go out on the main roads. Enjoy your trip!
April 12, 201114 yr I plan on getting drunk and loading the family up in the pickup and drive around throwing water on everyone. I mean c'mon a week-long, nation-wide, wet T-shirt competion for new years. Why doesn't every place do this?
April 12, 201114 yr Some people act has if they're guests at Gitmo. A lil' water down the pipe and it's screaming and crying.
April 12, 201114 yr I am going to stay at home, and will buy some Beer and Regency Brandy, sit in the front and listen to the screams. (rather them than me lol)
