First day of Songkran in Thailand
As promised in my previous post (https://steemit.com/travel/@tangmo/water-festival-or-songkran-festival-in-thailand), I went out to take some photos for you. Unfortunately, most of local Thai people who work in Bangkok return their home during these long holidays and most people who still stay in Bangkok prefer to celebrate the Songkran Festival at Khao San Road or Silom Road where they join together specially for this purpose. It's very quiet around here. There are few cars on the road, as you would see in the pictures.
In the meantime, my sister who lives in the South of Thailand told me that local people enjoyed throwing water to each other to celebrate the first day of Songkran. Especially children, they were really fun by using their big water guns fighting along the road. They all get soaked throughout the day. Um….I think I should join them next year!

Thank you very much for your nice comment! I appreciate it! :)
Happy Songkran @tangmo! Have a fun and safe time! Try to stay dry :)
Thanks a lot! There are few people around here splashing water. So, I stay dry until now.... ha ha! ;)
You stay dry and then unexpectedly you get wet, Songkran can get crazy at times LOL.
Yes, I may get wet if I ride motorcycle! Yesterday, I saw some of them passing me and getting wet! I enjoyed watching them! I really like to get wet someday in my hometown! Ha ha! ;D
I'm sure they were having a really good time too, even if they were getting wet.
Yes, that's right! I think most of us here are willing to get wet among hot weather like this! Ha ha!! :D
I can understand that :)
;D
It does look rather quiet there where you live. I would imagine it is very busy most times. And yes, you should join in Songkran next year, and get very wet.
Yes, it's very quiet around here. There are few people splashing water to each other now!
Yes, it's usually busy most times; there are a lot of cars on the road during rush hours!
I still stay dry until now....hopefully get wet next year in my hometown! ;)))
Thanks a lot for sharing this video with me! So, you can speak Thai a little bit now, right? ;)
Nit noi
I'm really happy to hear that! And hopefully, we can talk in Thai shortly! ;D
That's really nice! Thanks so much for sharing something to celebrate Songkran Days with us here! :D
