hotchilli Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 As a side post I have a friend who's just gone home to visit family in Hua Hin. Apparently there's a "foam party" oraganised for tonight.. don't know which area. Songkran starts early in the west, obviously the memo from Bkk didn't arrive?

YTP Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 so did anyone go to Khao San today? how was it? no music at all? no shorts / tank tops allowed for girls (like Siam Square today, had to buy cloth to cover up)? able to enjoy a beer at the restaurants while taking a break? or is it no sale at all for the area? thanks and I hope you had fun!
