This video list date / designated location where people starts water fight. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jraYes9lm7KnXWw.html sorry, the event dates are listed in Thai. If you are in BKK (@:18 second), i can list some of it for you: * 9 - 16 @ Siam Paragon * 10 - 21 @Icon Siam * 11 - 15 @ Sanam-laoung (near Wat Phra Kaew - Temple of Emerald Buddha ) * 12 -15 @ RCA Central BKK * 13 - 15 @ Every streets / corners of Thailand Have FUN!!! enjoy!!! and Have a happy Songkran in Thailand!

During the Songkran Festival 2023 at Khao San Road I saw six foreigners wearing military uniforms as part of a group of adventurers. They look very cool and fierce. But in the end he was defeated by the Thai people. Because it is the hallmark of being easily hunted. And they seem to really enjoy being hunted.🤣🤣 💙💙💦May you all enjoy this Songkran Festival 2024.

@thebangkokguide 2 ай бұрын

@@stefanbajer9399 I never spent much time over there. As a newcomer I would definitely recommend a more central location… it can feel a bit more isolating further out, and makes it difficult to explore the whole city to get a feel for different areas. Sukhumvit around Asok - Phromphong is probably the best area for newcomers. Rama 9 or Onnut is quite good if looking for a cheaper option. Cheers

My first ever trip in 2007 I'd done no research and was in Samui for Songkran. Hadn't a clue what was going on, had to ask the hotel staff as being from the UK if someone squirts water on you it gets very nasty in under 30 seconds. Avoided it ever since.

The best way as an expat is to cross a border to Laos or Cambodia for a week because you have already been there and done that. For a tourist, wear cheap clothing, put a smile on your face, drink up, don't take it seriously and dont rent a motorbike. Enjoy your life. You only get one.

Good news! This Songkran, Silom Road will be closed for water splashing, but only for 2 days: April 13th and 14th. This is the first time since the COVID-19 period that Silom Road will be closed for water splashing.

Great to hear! I think they needed to reopen it as Khaosan was too busy last year!

@tripontube365 2 ай бұрын

@@thebangkokguideBecause last year, they didn't close Silom Road (allowing splashing only on the pedestrian walkway), so many attendees moved to Khaosan Road instead. That's why Khaosan Road was excessively crowded last year, posing a risk of stampede.

I wish you told us how to celebrate the holiday seriously as Buddhists... I'm a western Buddhist and was hoping to see the monks celebrate it respectfully, -"bathing the Buddha", as they say in Tibetan Buddhism. But truthfully, I haven't a clue which Wat to visit, if I'm allowed to visit, and what time the ceremonies start. (I enjoy your posts, thanks)

@thebangkokguide 2 ай бұрын

Most temples have services… pretty much every neighborhood temple will have monks giving sermons and people bring food offerings. I went to one years back but I didn’t film anything. Perhaps I will go check it out this year! Cheers

It's definitely like this. You can visit any neighborhood temple on the day especially on 13-15 Apr to enjoy religious side of Songkran.

Try searching for the Songkran parade (with Miss Songkran) in any cities. They usually have the event carrying Buddha around the city and allow people to water the Buddha for good luck. Also, I think you will enjoy this activity (sand pagoda building competition) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jraYes9lm7KnXWw.htmlsi=HSIkEh_545BnXgIP&t=179

Songkran aside, you can go to any temple at any time of year before 7am to bring food to the monks and receive a blessing. You just need to go to the market to buy the food beforehand. We did it the other day with a guide but now we know what to do, we can do it whenever we want and as a Buddhist myself I was really interested in experiencing the alms giving practice and because we were with a guide we also got a short teaching and a blessing from the abbot. I definitely recommend it. Have a good trip

My rule no1 is to totally avoid being in Pattaya during songkran. It's bedlam and out of control.

Not a bad rule! 😅

You never see the monks disrespected with powder and water drenching. The level of disrespect for people who need to go about their daily business without harassment is unreal. This is Thailand. Try asking politely when you are in a business suit on your way to a meeting for immunity. They don't care.

I think it depends. I actually had quite a few people today that noticed I’m not dressed for songkran and they refrained from splashing me. I think it might depend on the area though.

@@thebangkokguide I have lived in BKK for 20 years now. I think you will agree, Farangs are a prime target.... Don't get me wrong, it's a special time for Thais, I do understand it's the one time of year they escape from the long working hours they endure. But please show a little more respect for some, after all, we are not all tourists.

Haha not everyone is a fan of the water

I am honestly not a big fan of Songkhran. 555 Last year (2023) I was hiding in Fortuna Hotel and observing the crazyness also from the McDonald's you showed (at the start of Sukhumvit Soi 5). This year (2024) I will leave Thailand in this crazy period. Yes, I am Muslim, but I think what is happening has nothing to do with real Buddhist Culture.

I love the holiday but I can definitely understand that some people don’t want to be attacked with water and wet all day 😅 If you stay outside the main water areas, it’s much more relaxed. I’m at Rama 9 and can walk around without any water. The water fighting is definitely a much newer commercial addition to the holiday. It reminds me of Santa Claus for Christmas… Cheers!
