MrWorldwide Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Absolutely nothing in those POne photos tells me it was anything other than a normal Saturday afternoon during the worst high season in living memory. I dont know where the thousands of new arrivals are, but I'm heading out tonight in the hope that there might be some life in the bars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul955 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Very strange report, as Pattaya is quieter this Songkran than any of the last 5 years I have lived here. Saturday night the roads into Pattaya where virtually empty, so I think the guy that wrote this article was already in the 'Songkran mood' after consuming too much Samsung!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really hoping you mean 'Sangsom' - unless the Korean electronics manufacturer has released a product I'm not aware of ! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to do with Prayut - short of closing the bars I dont see how he could stop the madness that is confined to a single city. A city which just happens to consider corruption a virtue - money talks, joe, simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMA_FARANG Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Just fro your information there was a ceremony here in Bangkok at one of the "official" venues they opened on Silom Road to celebrate Songkran . There was a ceremony on television this afternoon when it was opened with a speech form some of the city officials. Coincidentally, just after that site was opened a strong thunderstorm broke over Bangkok, with heavy rain and wind blowing the rain around. Almost like it was staged on cue with the ceremony.

balo Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Beware of a lady with big water gun in soi Chaiyapruek, Jomtien. She took me by surprise today, I was out bicycling and she hit me hard and I had no protection for my phone. Never expected they had started the water throwing here in the south end of Jomtien. Too early, not fun at all. Stay away . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWorldwide Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 It was great to see the younger Chinese tourists getting right into it yesterday in central Pattaya, even if the guys seemed to be having considerably more fun than their lady friends. Less enthused by the massage harpy who insisted on throwing ice cold water on the front of my shorts - at that stage I was dry and it was clearly designed to make me look like I'd just peed myself - hilarious stuff if we were both 12 years old and enrolled in a Special School. That effort aside, I had a surprisingly good time yesterday. Let's hope the overall happy vibe lasts for the remainder of this endless holiday.
