15th visit to Thailand - Songkran

---

My 15th visit to Thailand was in April/May and it was very hot and very wet because of the Songkran water festival. I rented a condo in Pattaya and spent my holiday travelling between Pattaya and Bangkok. It was too hot to go up country, only an excuse, maybe I am getting lazy to take the long bus or car trips. I will save that for when I return in September and hopefully see some new waterfalls and go white water rafting in rainy season.

Songkran is a fun time to be in Thailand and I experienced the festival in Khao San and Silom Roads Bangkok and also Pattaya. There were also Isaan Concerts in Pattaya and a great birthday party BBQ just before I returned home.

I like Wat Arun
Hello, thank you for the post. I love the Wat Arun. It is very beautiful. I have seen the movie called "hangover 2" which was shot in Bangkok. Have you seen that one already? It is so chaotic and fun.. We also have some more tips about Bangkok. http://bangkokhouse.com/ Have a good day.
