britgent Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Just realised I have organised to move from a quiet place near CMU to a residence on Huay Kuew road days before songkran! Possibly a great idea in retrospect but it literally just dawned on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinnieTheKhwai Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) Even if he does I still don't get the difference between both locations as it relates to Songkran. Huay Kaew of course isn't really usable in the inbound direction during Songkran, not sure if that's what he meant? (Moving exactly during Songkran would be difficult. But tat seems rather obvious) Or maybe he means he will be within easy walking distance from the big party in front of Kad Suan Kaew. That could be convenient. I like mystery posts! :-) Edited March 30, 2013 by WinnieTheKhwai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I think that this is an attempt at starting yet another Songkran bashing thread. They are very popular at this time of year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgprg Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 It should be better to get about this year now the Government as announced that it is going to ban all vehicles from carrying water around during Songkran. Lets see how that is enforced. The BKP is holding a on line vote today about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like mystery posts! :-) My first thought was the OP anticipating the experience of being near the "party" at KSK the worst music imaginable at the highest volume possible with something like 5 sound systems in competition at the same time. Human gridlock drenched by water cannons to forestall the spontanious combustion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyDrinker Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Put a plastic bag on your head and you'll be fine! It keeps off monsoon rains AND Songkhran water! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps someone should throw a bucket of water on the pesky things ... or would that now be illegal, under the new government rules ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellodolly Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Days before songkran. Maybe you can change the date to coincide with Songkran that will allow you to cool off from the hot work of moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraSnakeNecktie Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Don't move your precious belongings in an open pickup truck during Songkran That would be an epic epic failure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Anyway, we'll know what the post meant soon; he'll likely wake up within an hour or so. (Assuming he remembers posting it. :-) ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackr Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Put a plastic bag on your head and you'll be fine! It keeps off monsoon rains AND Songkhran water! ... and will also make him more appealing to the girlies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rancid Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Why would anyone want to live on Huay Kaew at any time? Heavy traffic, noise and exhaust fumes. Oh that's right it is all the fabulous coffee shops. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellodolly Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 5 minutes into town but not living in the heart of it. Is that walking or attempting to drive in to it. Or perhaps a motor bike on the side walks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
