Good idea, have not been for years,but the last time we were there some drunken yobo's

Were squirting water in everyoes faces untill the police stopped them, i think they were Aussies

You do not have to be drunk to enjoy yourself, most people anyway

It there a news report saying NO BOOZE over Songkran ? Anywhere ? I don't think so.

//wait - have a news report on Alcohol Free Play Zones

You sure it's today?

I went through on my bike to check out bike week. People everywhere and I didn't get a drop of water on me.

Quite civilised.

Good time to stay at home with a few DVD and nice bottle of single malt.

In my case some BBC vintage downloads and a just about acceptable bottle of Blend 285. Happy Songkran to all our Thaivisa members. Be safe out there.

Patron Silver, and a beer chaser. A classic movie and home made tacos.

Visited Bangla today. Not a drop of booze in sight. Police stopping all bars from serving and everyone having an enjoyable, sober time.

OK, I was lying. I don't even know why they announce such stupid measures. Most people on Bangla drinking, bars open and selling as normal. Packed with people.Good fun. First time I have visited Patong for Songkran for many years.
