Songkran has always been a bad time for me to visit Thailand. I got hit twice last year with water balloons that had stones in them and they hurt like hell.
Besides Im part Spanish, olive skinned and even then April is just way too hot for me.

Last year I was in Pattaya for the full 7 days of songkran and it got old real quick. Never again.
what about the bars, go-go's in that period? all closed? I am going to thailand on the 12th and maybe I should stay to bkk and not in pattaya for those first days?? what do u think guys? is pattaya so discouraging during water mania ? what about going there and picking some girls and disappear in the room? is it too much?

I was in Phuket back in '95 for the festivities. It was cool at first but the novelty got real old, real quick. In fact it got straight up annoying after a while.

Have been to Pattaya for too many Songkrans to count.
Even the very first one (many moons ago) became real old after about 4 days and 290 changes of clothes.
Even pattaya is trying and HAS tried to stem the days back a bit... nobody listens.. It's actually the falang that are worse.
Bangkok is much better, One day, it's over.. Not even a whole day, I think they finished about 5pm last year?
I also have been up North for Songkran, It was good up there, NOT as crowded, it was a one day drunken wet madness, but It was really nice as it was soooo HOT and no AC!
I will be coming AFTER songkran this year.. I've carefully planned around it.

All you guys must be Grumpy Old Men or something. Probably my ideal water target kinda guys during Songkran.
I was in BKK for Songkran last year and had the absolute best time. During the day my friends and I would hang out on Soi Cowboy drinking beer, and having an extreme water fight. An Absolute blast. If you have ever been to Mardi Gras, just imagine that with WATER.
You just have to dress for the occassion, and Arm yourself to do water battle. Overall a great way to spend a hot day in BKK. Plenty of bar girls running around soaking wet.
Things quiet down after about 6pm. I would go home and change, and do my normal evening routine in nice clothes. Never got soaked at night. If you are afraid of some water you need to loosen up, and relax.
I will be in BKK for Songkran. I specifically chose to be there for the great time I had last year.
BTW, I did not notice any let up in BKK nightlife during Songkran last year. Still plenty of partying to be had.

Is that any surprise? I'm planning on getting in this year to catch (maybe) the last day of Songkran, spend a few days in BKK to let Songkran pass in Pattaya, and then head down there for a few. At least, that's the plan, and you know how that goes...

Songkran in Pattaya Beach now is around 30 days duration. What they do is cut the tops off of oil drums, load them full of ice & water & drench passerbys with ice cold water. Not fun but the revellers think it is absolutely hillarious.
TIT - take a nice amusing custom & mulitply it by 5000 add large quantities of alcohol & motorcycles & then count the bodies. Enjoy people !!!

Thx for the update...I think though that you miss sth here..from my research the scene at BKK is much more decent than ptya..the previous poster didn't complain for bkk..anyway you gave me a lot of useful info on the bkk scene though and I appreciate it..i still wait to see how ptya is..maybe i'd stay in bkk for the first days and then go there..but again things in ptya get wild on the last day (the 19th)..is my info correct? any veteran with actual experience from those places?
