Jessi Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Any members know what date for Songkran in Bang Chang? the day all the idiots throw the water around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huangnon Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Tends to be a few days after Songkran in most other places. Dunno the exact dates as this debacle seems to go for weeks, especially around Pattaya and other tourist places. I usually fly somewhere else for Songkran.

Big Guns Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Unfortunately Ban Chang doesn't have just one date as the beaches (Pala, Payoon and Namrin) 'celebrate' sonngkran on different dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessi Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 I might have to go into lock down for a few days, stock up the fridge etc etc, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessi Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 I have just been told its on 17th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyDee Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 It's the 17th for the Ban Chang town area and the 19th for Phala ... don't know about Phayun, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyDee Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Continuing from my post above - over beers at a corner shop tonight, the Thai old timers here in Pala inform me that Songkran in this area will be celebrated on: 17th in Ban Chang town 17th in Payoon (was some discussion about 18th, but consensus is 17th) 19th in Pala 20th in Maptaphut 25th in Rayong City .... so one can have fun (or avoid same) throughout the latter part of April in general.

Jessi Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 That shop on the corner is known as "The swollen Prostrate" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyDee Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 That shop on the corner is known as "The swollen Prostrate" LOL, you may be referring to the shop at the mini-roundabout in Pala village where the old expats gather for beer and banter most afternoons. I'd heard it was called "The Changfist Club". I got my info further along near the old concrete pier where the old Thai fishermen gather (for lao khao and banter most afternoons). I was only on a bike ride, of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove past there on Tuesday and my wife said "Oh look those poor old men they are always sitting there, dont they have a home to go to?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaidDown Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 25th in Rayong City I've lived in Rayong city (approx between Tesco lotus and Laem Thong) and it has always been the 13th. One day only from around 08:00 to 19:00. Some roads on the South side of Sukhumvit are jammed with water throwing pick up trucks. It's only one day so no problems, join in or stay in for a day. Maybe the 25th somewhere else in Rayong, but it does sound a bit late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a misunderstanding when I asked the old Pala fishermen - maybe they meant they were on their 25th shot of lao khao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyDee Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 It's started in Pala!! Two Thai males attacked me with mega-guns at sunset tonight. Looked like devious 5-year olds. Dared not press the trigger but ran off squealing "Good Morning, Teacher". The OP has been warned. It's war out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
