Songkran 08: The end is in sight!

Today is Pattaya Wan Lai - the main Songkran day here and should mark the end for this year.

I've an idea that it may go on tomorrow (it's Sunday) but Anna is sure that today is the end. So last night we were open all night - dry early on, but then they started the water throwing all over again at around 2am. It was great fun - and we had some very sexy visitors!

I went to bed around 3 and finally got to sleep around 4 - being woken again by the music at 6am! Is this what the Doctors meant by "avoid stress"?



They are messing with the traditional format today - closing Beach Road to traffic and trying to concentrate water throwing to Beach Road. They have also erected 3 stages on the Beach Walk for Thai Bands. That means drunken Thai lads; mauling the girls and knifing each other.

See how it goes - I have my doubts.

First Video (and a new picture set)

Tried my hand at a video - showing some of Songkran.
