Downandup Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) I've not booked anything yet but my current plans are to arrive in Bangkok April 14th and get a hotel near to Nana which should be a fun Songkran if there are water fights between different bars. Now as this is the Thai new Year should I expect that there will be fewer girls around? Edited January 10, 2019 by Downandup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangkokBeats Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I've not booked anything yet but my current plans are to arrive in Bangkok April 14th and get a hotel near to Nana which should be a fun Songkran if there are water fights between different bars. Now as this is the Thai new Year should I expect that there will be fewer girls around? Songkran is fun round Nana I like watching the madness from the bars more than getting involved, Songkran in Bangkok is much more civilised than it is in Pattaya. There will be fewer girls though, some of them go home to celebrate it with family and of the ones that remain some will be out drinking and throwing water around during the day and out of action by night time, there will still be plenty of girls around though so don't worry.

Crash69 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I plan on arriving in Bangkok on April 16th. I realize it’s a couple of days after the Songkran celebration in Bangkok. I’ve never participated in Songkran before. My plan is to stay in Bangkok for a couple of nights before heading to Pattaya on the 18th for a couple of weeks. Option is to skip Bangkok and head straight to Pattaya. I hope the P4p scene will be good in Bangkok right after Songkran.

Downandup Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) Thanks. I did Pattaya last year at the end of March so this time around I thought I'd mostly do Bangkok along Sukumvit Rd and finish with a few days in Pattaya to ensure that I miss out on very little. And as long as there are girls around I'll be fine. Edited January 11, 2019 by Downandup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFrontiers Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I believe the hotels in Bangkok are a little cheaper during songkran because there are fewer business travelers. One thing is for sure... there is a lot less traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_ny Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 The Songkran date in Bangkok and Pattaya is like traffic laws, it’s just a suggestion. The water sports usually run for about 5 days and doesn’t seem to adhere to a ceasefire when the sun goes down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kandawsonbkk Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I got info from a trusted friend about market and shops resume from 16th April onwards and there may be some water gun fights on the road even during 16th and 17th as hangover of songkran. Official holidays are till 15th April and after that it is regular affair as usual for bangkok and Pattaya.

Admint Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Pattaya will celebrate Songkran beyond the 15th and is slated to go to the 19th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
