Songkran is a celebration of the Thai New Year on April 13 each year. What started as a respectful washing of Buddha images with water to welcome in the forthcoming wet season, has turned into a mega-water fight.<\/em><\/p>\n

No prisoners are taken in this annual water battle \u2013 if you head outside or drive along the roads you WILL get wet. If you\u2019re in a car it WILL get water thrown at it and probably a few handprints made with the sludge left over from the Prickly Powder.<\/em><\/p>\n

It is a celebration and there\u2019s plenty of music, noise, smiles AND water.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sawasdee pi mai!! Happy Songkran.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1) Wear goggles<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Where did that water come from that just shot in your eye? You don\u2019t know and you probably don\u2019t want to know! Suffice to say your eyes are at danger from the many things that end up in the water, including the prickly powder that was thrown at you and now dribbling down your forehead or added to the water before it was squirted at you. It will sting either way.<\/p>\n

A cheap pair of swimming goggles are a perfect accessory for the Songkran Fashionista. And keep your mouth closed as much as possible. You really don\u2019t want to be drinking that stuff being shot at you. Be aware that come people reload their water guns with iced water that is very bracing when it hits you \u2013 it\u2019s not all nice room temperature Evian heading in your direction. Second option, protective eyewear.<\/p>\n

2) Have an exit strategy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Getting into an area where Songkran is going to be \u2018busy\u2019 is easy enough. Getting out can be another thing altogether. If you park your bike nearby it\u2019s probably going to get parked in and leave you waiting to get to wherever you were intending to go next.<\/p>\n

If you intend to drink alcohol whilst \u2018partaking of the new year waters\u2019 then definitely plan to get a taxi home or have someone organised to get you back to your hotel safely. Having an exit strategy is a good financial investment tip \u2013 it\u2019s also a very good tip for Songkran as well.<\/p>\n

Know how you\u2019re going to escape if 1) you need to or 2) when you want to.<\/p>\n

3) Riding bikes will be VERY hazardous<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Riding motorbikes at any time of the year is dangerous on Thailand\u2019s roads. It\u2019s a LOT more dangerous during Songkran. You might be quietly going to pick up a sandwich at your local convenience store and WHOOSH, an entire bucket of water is thrown at you from Songkran revellers on the side of the road. In fact, if you\u2019re on a motorbike you\u2019re considered a good target.<\/p>\n

So don\u2019t wear your favourite Armani outfit if you\u2019re on a motorbike and either avoid getting on a motorbike on April 13 or take it EXTREMELY slowly \u2013 you WILL get water thrown at you.<\/p>\n

4) Don\u2019t take phones or cameras with you<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Water and electronic devices don\u2019t usually mix. You want to capture all the fun of Songkran but you want to get your expensive camera back home still working, right? You have two options. 1) Leave any expensive electronic equipment, including your phones, at home 2) Put them in a plastic zip-lock bag and keep them secure in a bum bag.<\/p>\n

Even the latest \u2018waterproof\u2019 phones can get broken easily in the argy-bargy of a water skirmish. Consider taking your phone with you very carefully and think about how you\u2019re going to protect it \u2013 putting it in your pocket ain\u2019t going to cut it during Songkran!<\/p>\n

5) Apply sunscreen<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s hot, damn hot. It\u2019s the hottest time of the year (which is what the water festival is all about). So the sun is likely to to be out. You\u2019re going to be running around outside enjoying yourself so Mr Sunshine is going to love giving you a good case of sunburn unless you cover up. Obviously, you\u2019ll need a waterproof application of SPF30+. Wear a hat and protect yourself from the sun.<\/p>\n

6) Hydrate<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ironically, dehydration is a big problem each Songkran. You\u2019re having water thrown at you all day. The last thing you\u2019ll be thinking about is drinking water. But all that running around in the heat, despite the water being thrown at you, is going to dehydrate you very quickly. So take a water bottle or keep in reach of a convenience store where you can get refreshed throughout the day. DON\u2019T refill from the tanks people are refilling their guns!!! Just don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

7) Be aware of the prickly powder<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The type of powder used in Songkran has gone from just plain powder to what\u2019s called Prickly Powder. When its applied to your face it leaves a burning sensation \u2013 not painful but you\u2019ll certainly notice it. You certainly don\u2019t want that stuff in your eyes \u2013 it will really sting. The powder seems about as prevalent as the water these days so be prepared to not only be saturated but coated in a white\/grey sludge for most of the day.<\/p>\n

8) Consider how you\u2019re going to refill your gun<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You\u2019re all ready. You\u2019ve got a water gun all full and ready for action. Locked and loaded! You rush out and start firing it at a few people and in approximately 2 minutes, you\u2019re empty. You\u2019re going to need to figure out how you\u2019re going to reload your water gun otherwise it\u2019s going to be a very short day or a day spent running away from people because you\u2019re out of ammunition. Sea water is a great alternative if you\u2019re near a beach.<\/p>\n

9) Enjoy yourself, don\u2019t take it seriously<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you head out into daylight during Songkran you\u2019re likely to get wet. Period. Wear clothes that are going to be comfortable when totally saturated \u2013 cotton and natural fibres will retain the water a lot more than synthetic fibres that will tend to repel the water better and dry quicker. Wear a 20 baht plastic raincoat if you really need to but it sort of defeats the purpose of the day.<\/p>\n

People are going to rush up to you and throw water at you, usually with a great big smile to go along with it. If you\u2019re out there, smile along with them and enjoy the locals\u2019 celebration of their new year. If you get your brand new Zara wool suit ruined by a bucket of water on April 13 you only have yourself to blame.<\/p>\n

10) Seek an alternative<\/strong><\/h3>\n

So, you\u2019ve done Songkran for years and you really don\u2019t want to do it again. No problems. You can go and sit in a quiet cinema for a few hours, walk around the shopping centres or enjoy Songkran-lite at many of the international hotels who host \u2018toned down\u2019 family-friendly Songkran celebrations.<\/p>\n

Otherwise stay at home and read a book or binge-watch some Netflix. It\u2019s one day (or two days if you are in Patong or Chiang Mai) each year \u2013 you will survive avoiding the streets for one day.<\/p>\n
