Thread: Songkran 2023

Not a lot of pictures because I was wet most of the time.

Seems the young lady has now procured a much larger water weapon, well done.

Good to see the kids having fun.

Yes well done Armstrong

Nice Armstrong!

Outstanding Armstrong. Good times and fun.

Yesterday was light. Only a few friends dropped by to have a few beers,some food and a swim. Today I think there is a different larger group of folks coming by with their children. One thing that is nice here versus the west most of the time, usually as the host you have to plan all the food, beverages and whatever entertainment. Here its a lot of wing it and they all bring their own food, all we supply is plates. Spirits always tend to be Leo and Chang or Sangsom which I never have on hand so they BTOB.

i went for a chinese with the wifes fam yetserday on soi 22 and it was all wet tarts and foreigners (nowt wrong with that) but noticed a lot more little ones allowed out to play this year.

great pics Armstrong, not sure im up to all day drinking in this heat though, even with a water fest in progress

The key was to find a bar that we could hole up in so we've got shade and food. Knackered today though.

Day 2 of the Songkran holiday. Today was wicked hot up here in the north. I had both mist fans and mist system around the pool running all day to keep it cooler.



Took a bike ride to the local coffee shop to get a green tea with lime to cool off. I was bombarded by young kids in the back of truck tossing water on everyone. nice cool off.





Sat and waited for my green tea. At this point it was only 97 degrees at 10:30am




Friends showed up around 11am and we set up a moo Kah Tah cook inside our downstairs area with the AC on full.



After lunch I headed to the pool area to get it ready for all to swim. ( Sorry Tax and SA. I know how you hate the good life )

Cheers

Stumpy, what's the water temp in your pool? Is it refreshingly cool or kind of warm to enjoy?

^ shouldn't you be claiming your pension Simon.

Hey Tops. Today it was 85F which is still quite refreshing
when it's 104 out.

It's about 32c in the pool here. Warm but worth a dip still

Probably about time, eh?

Still 2 years to go! But I don't plan to retire at 66, carry on teaching and smuggling sex dolls...

The envy dribbling from your post is . . . typical.

Is it mobile or propped up on cinder blocks?

Same . . . never had an issue with it. 35 degrees and you you're going to get doused - hardly a bad thing.

Why are elderly Australian men posting as US kids, and where's the Steve Buscemi gif?
