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.
