The 2016 Songkran FAQ & discussion topic

[Jingthing]

My subjective impression from my dry and secret vantage point: It's MUCH LESS crazy than in previous years. Why? I doubt it's the drought.

You didn't try riding the baht buses into town every day "later at night" as you did last year?

The webcams seemed to show few water throwers than ever--but still enough to do the job.

No, this year I decided I would not be a SITTING DUCK in the buses.

Thank God or Buddha it's over now, it's time to celebrate !

There are a lot of people hiding away during Songkran. Some even leave the country. What are some of you doing to celebrate?

I went down to Villa Market & bought a bottle of decent rosada tequila, a half bt of cointreau & a bag of limes.

I already have maldons sea salt so I'm mixing up a batch of margaritas.
