Songkran In Phuket

[LivinginKata]

Anyone know how long the water festivities last in Phuket? Will likely be going next year (2014) and the lady who owns our favourite guesthouse says just a day or 24hrs - have heard it goes for a week or two in some parts (Pattaya etc). A day would be quite fun, but it would get old fast if it went for too long.

Thanks

Here on Phuket Island the water throwing usually only lasts 1 or 2 days.

Depends a bit on the location, in Patong it is a bit more than 1 day, maybe 1,5 or so, in other parts of the island it really tends to be just the one day, the 13th.

As I recall it was all over after 3 days last year (whoopee).

In case anyone is planning on visiting an emergency room, please be sure to pre arrange your funeral, and/or have lots of painkillers on hand. Most of the staff is off for the holiday.
