Poll Of Pattaya Residents: Do You Support The Pattaya Songkran Is Too Dam_N Long Party?

[Jingthing]

Inspired by both the major American political party, The Rent Is Too dam_n High Party, as well as Thai parties such as Friends of Thais who Love Thais Too Much Long Time Party and the Thai Bum Looker Party (possibly minor translation errors, blame google translate ) ... this poll asks PATTAYA RESIDENTS ONLY, do you support the Pattaya Songkran Is Too dam_n Long Party. (If it existed and you could vote here.)

Just asking.

while it may well be exciting and fun for all the drunk tourists and sex workers, it certainly is NOT fun for people who actually live here and need to go to work or do whatever chores.

Not to mention that its 1 week of being short staffed(when running a business)

[Markland]

should be only 2 days 18th and 19th

[Jingthing]

should be only 2 days 18th and 19th

I'd settle for three.

[JSixpack]

Oh, HELL yes!

Make it 10, BUT put it into designated area's so everyone else can carry on with their life

That would be another party though. The Pattaya Songkran Is Too dam_n Widespread Party ... It could work in a coalition. I hear the Thai Bum Looker party people are pretty wide open. Edited April 15, 2012 by Jingthing

[elreico]

I don't support that craziness!

It is much too long! From 12th to 19th of April! More than one week...!

Fortunately I'm escaping to Bangkok tomorrow, where "the Party" finishes tonight! My

only fear is to get dry to the busstation at Pattaya Nuea!

[thaidiver]

I have no problem with Songkran as it forces me to get out of the country and enjoy the bounty of cheap flights and other beautiful areas of South-East Asia. It is the hottest time of the year, most smart Thais in Pattaya get the hell out too. Why be a prisoner to the craphole that is Pattaya?

Comes off rather elitist.

[Whyowhy]

It's the 16th and still no widespread Pattaya Songkran. Stop with the whinging!

As far as the 15th is concerned Songkran is over, on to day 6 of 10.

[pattaya_girl]

It should be One day throughout all of Thailand - People getting hurt and even some deaths.

Roll on the 20th that's what i say !!!

Let's get back to normal.

[marstons]

15th was certainly widespread enough, 1 hour from soi 2 beach road to central festival, must have coincided with a shaven head tatoo convention as well by the looks of paricipants of the male variety. think we all know what the female participants look like, and general area where from and choice of occupation.

[Naam]

who or what is Songkran?

[jcowle]

should be only 2 days 18th and 19th

I agree two days only

[FarangBuddha]

I haven't even noticed it was Songkran week...but i have a car and live on the Farside...two solutions there for you mate

[smedly]

Would not surprise me, Thursday main day in Pattaya, Bang Saray Friday, do you really think it will all be gone on Saturday in Pattaya??

[luckyluke]

who or what is Songkran?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ask your domestic workers.

[pattayadingo]

Songkran??

I have not been shot, squirted, chalked nor even seen any Songkran yet. Luckily I escaped for 3 days and since I have come back (Saturday night) it has been so quiet. I hope I have not spoken too soon !!

Had that problem one year. I took backroads to the bus station, avoided the "checkpoints," avoided random side-of-the-road shooters, but still got soaked by revelers in the back of a truck.

But I'd taken no chances and was wearing a full rainsuit, ha! Hot as hell but worth it for the relatively brief journey.

Just one small example of the inconvenience forced on people by Songkran.

Neither are "solutions" for me, dude.

[MJCM]

I guess, the next solution People will come up with to avoid SongKran is to move and or buy a car.

[saengsureeya]

should be only 2 days 18th and 19th

NO.......it should be 13, 14 and 15 country wide. Period!!

People who are fleeing to neighboring countries are forced now to stay away from 12 until 20 April.............

[MrPlumbs]

What difference will it make what we think or vote! It's a bloody stupid pole. You can't have it all, if you come here you have to put up with it!!
