Is Songran gonna be played on 15th in Bangkok?

[thaichalina]

I've heard they will cut water festivities for 1 day,to be played only up until today 14th. Is that true,is there gonna be water fest tomorrow at SIlom/Khao San Rd or not?

[KhunBENQ]

The official announcement is that the crazy Songkran splash on Khao San and Silom will end today,

As they seem to have ended the event yesterday evening with police (closing time) you could hope that the closure on 15th will be enforced.

(there are conflicting reports about the closure time, 9 PM or 10 PM)

Don't hold me responsible if you get wet

Richard Barrow is not the official announcer.

It was in the news beforehand.

If you like water-fights, drive to Pattaya.

The climax yet to come there.

Played? What do you think it is, a game? It's cultural.

OP: Yes, it is GOING to be celebrated on the 15th, enjoy Kao San Road.

For kids and idiots, avoid if not one of those.

I never realized they had high pressure water guns in Thailand 100 years ago.

It's definitely still going. Pracha Songkro in din daeng is insane right now.

You didn't quite catch the fine sense of humor ?

Surely no one will claim that this techno party/reveler madness has anything to do with the original roots of Songkran which is of course a cultural thing.

Here in upcountry you will get some idea of it.

Yesterday got my "palms sprinkled" by the granddaughter.

I know it's too late now, but Siam square and central world were "playing" songkran as normal.

Do you buy your granddaughter presents at Christmas ? Or is it only certain cultures you respect ?
