I used to snub Songkran. But after coming to Thailand since ‘94, then moving here several years back, I finally had a taste this year.

Truthfully, it didn’t count as I hid with my camera behind glass. Well, except for the time when the neighbour kids announted me with powder.

But not next year. Just this past week I convinced friends from the UK to fly out to join me as next year I’m getting a camera protector and I’m wading in.

Bring it on I say. Bring it on…

I do think it can go a bit too far in Pattaya and Bangkok but all in all if you are in the right frame of mind good fun can be had.

Although up in Issan it was mostly water fights there was still a lot of tradition to be had from dancing to temple visits.

Put me in the same camp as Dan. But each to his own. You certainly seemed to enjoy yourself and I am certainly not against that.

Its just a pity that the real meaning/values of Songkarn seem to have got lost somewhere.

Songkran’s a pain. I hate Songkran and try to avoid it whenever possible.

Either leaving the country or locking our family into the house.

The should have designated battle zones.

Best Songkrans are when it’s raining – like the rather cold rain some years ago.

The streets were safe, all the trouble makers were freezing their arse off.
