Silly Season

As so it begins, the local authouritys have delivered water bins up and down the street and the kids are out playing and the adults start drinking. Im sure the government said last night that drinking was banned along with water pistols, face powder and anything but traditional clothing. Maybe knowbody was lissening.

 

Noooo, Thailand, no one listening? I don't believe it.

 

Im safely sat inside, enjoying a vape and the beers in the fridge. Just watching the kids through our shop window.

 

Fortunately leaving for work 6:30 am Monday to China.

Jeez I loathe Songkran with a passion. I mean, I do appreciate this feeling of not growing old out here in Asia the same way people do back at home but I do make an effort to become wiser as I age if possible. Clearly they reach their limit early in this part of the World.

 

Songkran somewhere up country like Nakhon Phanom is a wonderful experience...in Pattaya it's a rather shitty experience...I'm hiding

 

I hate it too with a passion, for me the novelty wore off after a day and a half in pattaya in my first year. Really which I had found some work before it started. At least I can sit safely and watch from behind glass lol.

 

The only time I enjoyed Songkran was for a very brief period in 2006 I think. My ex had spent about an hour getting her fcuking hair done late evening because she said they would stop throwing water at 6pm (in Chiang Mai).
On the way back I told her to sit in the front of the baht bus just in case, of course she knew better. A few corners later she got a bucket of water over her head lol.

My only enjoyable experience of Songkran.

 

We do have the police sat across the road from us and so far no sign of anyone selling beer outside. Guess Ill have to drink the 8 crates a 4 bottles of whisky myself.

Priceless

 

I do have some interest this year, seeing what the government has said, and waiting to see if anyone cares.

 

I'm loving Songkran so far...I am secreted away on the Dark Side of Pattaya enjoying a Jack and coke with a dripper full of licorice toffee And this is where I am staying until the 20th!

 

The Darkside is the place to be period in Pattaya, especially now with Sukhumvit all mangled up

 

That is the first thing I said when I heard they were doing a tunnel...I wonder how many people will drown in it before they realize just how piss poor of an idea it is.
