Songkran is the wildest time in Thailand, where people really let loose.
After slogging through an entire year at jobs they probably hate, Thai’s are ready to unwind and let loose.
The happiest time in Thailand for Thai’s.
Now there are some sad-sack expats that can’t bothered with this happiness or what they consider foolishness, from a Thai perspective, it is the most fun time of the year.
Knowing that there will be many water fights and partying, you should know your limits and not get yourself into any legal trouble.
Drunk driving and over excessive drinking are two of the worst problems.
If you are going to consume alcohol, do so to a point that you will not become obnoxious, loud and threatening. Remember, this is a holiday for Thai people that allow you to participate.
Keep your wits about you and don’t get arrested for sexually harassing girls during water play or get into a fight with the local Thai’s.
You must know your limits and enjoy the real spirit of the holiday period.
Things will happen, and if you don’t get over intoxicated and understand the spirit, you will have a marvelous time.
But don’t be that guy that regrets it.
