"One born every minute" Considering I came back to the forum specifically and only on this date after a long absence to find the results of the annual gullibility test to be exactly as predicted, it's probably not I who was born a minute ago.

B.S. If you once "enjoyed" to get a bucket of moat water into your face you would be happy and relieved that this bullshit will stop for eternity. It's NOT tradition to get soaked with dirt and stink. And I totally agree with the idea to celebrate Songkran with "our" NY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Thailand are abolishing Songkran the British are taking up the challenge. " British Songkran will take place on any day during the British rainy season ( 1st January to 31st December) and revellers are invited to simply set foot out of their front door, actually throwing water is not necessary, water will be provided by the British Meteorological Society " Source: dodgyarticles.com That is good news my friend today is April 1 and its raining now I will pop out and start Songkran British style, thats if I can find my umbrella, shots and silly shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerox Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 There is no article linked and it was just written by ThaiVisa. Seems to be an April joke. Haven't read all the pages but I can imagine all the speculation :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
