Songkran 2019 The Final Day Always the Best Day - PATTAYA

I have said many times I am not a fan of Songkran and the reason why is because in Pattaya it goes on for too long and the rules of not throwing water of 6:30pm are always ignored. It's virtually impossible to go out during the evenings to a restaurant without get water thrown on you. Many expats leave to save themselves getting in trouble and I don't blame them, if only the rules were adhered to it would I believe make the week long festival much more enjoyable. The good news I have seen many bars covering water bins during the evening to stop people throwing but you're always going to get those who don't play by the rules.
If you've never done a Songkran then you can't really complain until you have experienced it, but my advice is arrive for the final day it is such an amazing experience.

หนึ่งในเทศกาลที่ยิ่งใหญ่TOP3ของโลก มันสนุกและตื่นเต้นที่ได้ร่วมเทศกาลสงกรานต์ น่าเสียดายโควิช19 ได้ทำลายทุกสิ่ง ฉันหวังว่ามันจะกลับมาสนุกสนานเหมือนเดิม ขอบคุณVDOที่ดี ทักทายจาก ไทยแลนด์ 😁😁😁😁

[@0040636bf109e]

I agree whole heartily, I did it once, not to be repeated, it goes on too long, not the same as the rest of Thailand which is 3 days or so I believe. And OK Day time its part of the scene and should be expected, but if you are out at night dressed up, its the last thing you want.

[@NDTViThailand]

100% my feelings.

[@rsmaniak]

If you are in pattaya during songkram just expect to get wet...I had loads of fun last year throwing water at all the party goers that were dressed up in walking street!

[@NDTViThailand]

Thank you Chris. How's it going mate?

[@garysansom8636]

Thx for fun video...We were there a few days before, and enjoyed playing water on SOi 7 and 8... with MUCH less people. I prefer to avoid the final day myself...and yes.. some dont know when to stop! Also, dont spray directly in face/ears.. thats not fun for anyone..

[@Mekhong3876]

Great footage. Everyone should go once.... I've done it 3 times, that's enough for me!😉 Have a great night!😎👍

[@NDTViThailand]

Cheers Mick My advice is just arrive the day before and experience the final day the rest of it gets on your tits. I totally understand why people hate it and expats leave during this period. It was my first in 12 years I won't be doing it again but I will do the final day only.

[@paulpattaya1522]

Great music and editing I had to fly home 2 years ago on the last day of songkran, midnight flight Didn’t even think about the party’s that would be going on outside central pattaya Had to get a motorbike to the motorway where a taxi was waiting for me!! Had to pay double but got my flight , my big bag and me where soaked though

I only recommend doing the final day the full 7 to 9 is too much.

[@alanbellamy6085]

Your the best video maker. At my age I swore that I was finished with Songkran a long time ago, but watching this I was jealous that I was not there.

[@NDTViThailand]

Thank you Alan. My last Songkran was 12 years ago I too thought I was finished with it and especially since I heard they don't stop throwing at night. I did the opening day and the final day. It drags on over the days and at times it has got on my nerves but not as bad as I thought. My advice is to come in time for the final day it is amazing fun and you will appreciate it much more. 👍🙏

[@Alirezasepahi]

Waooooo so nice I was there really pattaya so long time one week I have enjoyed well

Hi Nick another great video,always nice to see the main and last day of Songkran,it does get dragged out a bit over there in some places and Pattaya can be over a week,it’s a good laugh but you can have to much of it,be safe mate keep up the good work.

[@b_b762x51]

Another great vid and thanks for making the sacrifice of having a great time. I'm sure all of the cold water and extra fun contributing to your cold was worth it! Hope that cold only has a "short time" stay in your chest.

[@NDTViThailand]

Yeah but now I have an ear infection. 😢

[@b_b762x51]

Get a Qtip (small cotton swab on a "stick") dip into rubbing alcohol and swab your ear cannel all around (don't jab in for brains or to try and "play" the ear drum). Rubbing alcohol will dry out skin, ergo it will help pull the infection/moisture out. Worse case with this treatment is you do it too frequently and cause some skin flaking in your ear cannel (pushed out by normal ear wax). Anyhow just a personal long-time swimmer's cure. I do this even with the tingle of not feeling well and helps. Also helps to manage full head cold and limit ear infection/discomfort. Of course this is combined with a dose of rest / sleep... given the high quality of your video editing someone is stealing their sleep time for other activities! Get well soon so the fellow perverts can eventually get video fed another "Scooters" type video so we all can then suffer from eye strain!!! 555 ;-)

[@NDTViThailand]

Lol. I used to always bath my ears in alcohol every few days to stop me getting infections because I was scuba diving every day. I'm working on a pervy video (A Go Go) but it's only in the talking and smoothing it out stages. Fingers and legs crossed. 🙏🤞😉

Fingers definitely but I'm still going to be manspreading!

I must admit I've had more words with certain people in the last couple of days than I have in 9 months. If you're walking to get food at 9pm and someone points a blaster in your face and you hold your hand up and say please don't, you should expect trouble. This is what happened to me last night and it nearly took my eyes out there was shock he was lying in the road. I just saw red mist.
