Stargeezr Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 If it was not so dang hot in April, maybe I would go to Phuket for Songkran. Oh well I will have to find another excuse to visit and swim in the ocean there in the future. Nice to hear of some where in Thailand that did not have anyone killed so far in Songkran Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
