Hadrianus Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 It was the first time I could experience Songkran in Thailand and I have mixed feelings about it. It can be fun if people stick to water guns, but as everywhere and with everything, you always have people who must exagerate. I don't get it why it is necessary to throw with big buckets of (iced) water or use a strong hose. Most people just had fun and when I was driving around (slowly) with my motorbike they sprayed water around or in the air. You get wet first, you get soaked later, but this doesn't harm. And I can understand people have fun and celebrate this way. What I don't understand is when idiots feel the need to throw a big bucket of iced water in your face when you're driving a motorised vehicle. Automatically you have a reaction and don't steer straight forward anymore. Luckily I was always driving really slow, but at a higher/normal speed this is asking for accidents. Also, when I got back, I noticed on my clothes and my bike, an idiot used rusty water. If the law should do something, I think it's more about controlling these idiots so 95% of the people can celebrate as they are used to. About the alcohol ban; I could drink a rum-coke without any problems on Beach Road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 @hadrianus That's quite the same I feel. Fun is fun and can be polite. Attentionwhoring overflow is not. Could the rusty water be just food coloring, which some people are using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadrianus Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 @hadrianus Could the rusty water be just food coloring, which some people are using? First I thought it was some kind of innocent paint, but I can't get it out of my clothes. So I'm not sure it was rusty water, though it has that colour, but it is not innocent at all. I was only wearing cheap holiday clothes, but I wonder what with people who go to work ? It's not a holiday for everybody; bars, restaurants, hotels,...
