Songkran Water Battles - Two Minutes of Carnage From Patong

[demonboy]

Just got back from Patong where we stayed with friends and hit the streets for some water battles. We had so much fun it goes down as one of the hightlights of the year so far. Knocked up this quick two minute video that captures the atmosphere.

Kind of looks different than it was hours before or later?

I think it was kind of deserted. Last year you could not move anywhere because it was full of people, but now it was easy to move everywhere.

What happened to your camera?

Tourists numbers are down this year so maybe that's why? There were definitely times when it was too busy to move but I'm glad it wasn't like New Year where it was so busy you couldn't walk against the flow (apparently).All the footage in this clip was taken within an hour around 4pm.
