I'm gonna have fun, I like going out and I don't mind getting wet.

I perspire a lot so Songkran works for me heheheh

I bought a new shirt this year, got home and realised the buttons are on the wrong side so it must be for a fat lady, oh well who cares I'll look great.

Ef fin hate it, its for kee ngok cheap charlie farangs and their rent a wife from esarn.

Even some of the Thais I know hate it, learn to speak Thai big man, antarai jet wan.

What will the body count be this year, 500+, a complete senseless waste of lives.


PS, if you quote that in one of yer e-books, will I be recompensed?

Personally I will be at home with my Songkran Survival Pack.

The mrs being Mon will do Songkran in Phrapradaeng, thankfully the KSR types havent yet discovered this part of Bkk, stay on KSR you manky backpacker types.

  yes the people up that way are way more refined.

  If you want to see two differing sides of the city encompassed in one area, come out that burger joint and hang a left, drive by Bunny snooker till you reach the first crossroads, hang a right at the 7, keep going straight till you hit the next crossroads with 7 on your RH side, keep going straight, you are now into Pattanakarn 20.

I wont spoil the fun for you, make sure your mrs has a burqua with her is all I can say.

I am still p**sed off that that the North Korean BBQ place was closed, did you ever get to it Smokie, FF S, what a laugh.

Around here it's also mercifully idiot free but being the only Westerner has its drawbacks at times.

Most Thais tend to wait for the final day before getting involved and Ive learned to do that too.

I've done a few in KSRd and Pattaya but after a few hours of idiocy the mass murderer inside me tends to start to rise to the surface. The most rowdy it gets around here is being hauled onto the back of a truck, a drive around for an hour or so with a few cans, down to one or other of the local temples to do the traditional bit, then off for drinks.

These past few years I've actually grown to really enjoy the final day, just ambling around the area getting a soaking, taking time to stop and have a drink with people I usually just whizz right past with a nod in every day life. Every now and again I may get roped' into a pick up but on the whole I prefer to just sit, chill out, wait for 6pm, dry off and then go for a drink.....
