Thread: Songkran 2023

The first "proper" Songkran since Covid. What are your plans?

Going upcountry to visit family? Joining mayhem in the tourist hot spots or locking yourself away until it's over?

Swimming in the mornings.
Gym & Chill in the afternoons.
BBQ & Beers in the evenings.

No need to venture too far from home, especially where they may be ..... ewwww... Western tourists.

Luckily for you most people are avoiding the North this Songkran because of your fresh mountain air.

Yeah keep thinking about it while your smoke out your neighbours on your 2sqm balcony you troll.

I’ll go to Lamphun and stay at a friend’s house. We plan to drink wine and hang out in her pool.

i like lamphun
and very good ressie opposite the moat just outside the big temple (Wat haupunchal sp) , cant remember its name but cant really miss it as its on the corner.

i will be locking the gate and raising the drawbridge for the duration

Albeit I do not really get a full vacation being other countries are working so I still have to do some calls in early morning however the rest of the time after say 8am is off. Wife and I relaxing at home swimming and not going anywhere. Plenty of food planned, a few friends will drop by and swim. Lots of festivities around our place as well plus few big Songkran parties with bands on Wed and Thurs.

In the mean time.......



Sandy has already found her bucket of water and is quite comfy sitting in it.





Mist system up and running around the pool bar. Quite comfy even if its 41c outside it.



Fridge stocked with more waiting.

I have done the same. Only leaving my bucket to eat or get another drink until the 13th where we'll brave town for a waterfight.

Yeah we have a big road closure party towards Song Prap by my wife's uncle. They always do a big party. Band. Music. Water festival with water weapons. I always enjoy going. It's always great fun. Food always good. Good Northern Thai music at 150db.

I shall pray for rain, failing that hot chick cold beer like the rest.

Hey MK, do you make Martini's with the blue cheese stuffed olives or just eat them?

Making martinis with the blue cheese stuffed olives. Hard not to eat one while making the drinks though twice as good after they are soaked.

Must have one now.

stumpy, be a good lad and post a few more photos of your pool, your house, your beer, your veranda, your instagram lifestyle, your hammock and your fucking fridge, just in case there's poster or two who haven't got the picture yet..

many thanks, tax.

Isn't it great to see a positive poster who is enjoying life and happy to take time to share for those who may only dream of their own pool .I myself am saving for a new bicycle, testicle and piddling pool , Good on you.


Lovely quality photos of someone who has turned their dream into reality, A nice positive contrast to some who despite loathing the climate, culture, locals and lifestyle seem drawn to Thailand and Thai forums or is it fora?

Worry not Stumpy as I was advised on my fist nudist beach

IGNORE THE KNOCKERS

The irony of course is that the lummox actually thinks he’s an integrated, assimilated, rinsed out and dried in, homegrown farang who’s part of the community rather than a farang who’s created his wee bubble of existence, immune from anything Thai, approximating to the American suburban idyll right down to the pooch breed which shouldn’t be here.

The smugness is almost an emetic.

And that fucking poolside fridge …….gosh, how fucking cool Arizona.
