Where is the best plaace to go during the songkran festival?


i there for 2 weeks

Oh have many places to travel !
1. Khao San Road in bangkok usually has a lot of foreigner there on songkran day.
2. The north of Thailand ....Chiang Mai is the best place to travel and play for songkran and there will start water fastical before other area. but you should reserve to stay before if you have plan to go there.
3. Pattaya beaches is one popular also

what is it it sounds like fun

I've stumbled into Bangkok during Songkran and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Get yourself down the Khao San Road on an evening and it's rocking - as is the rest of the city. Don't miss it!

The 3 largest most well known areas to go to is Chiang Mai, Khao San Road in Bangkok, and Pattaya. Chiang Mai is the largest, Khao San Road is the most crowded in a small area with the most foreigners, but Pattaya is by far the wildest if your on beach road. Just do a www.youtube.com search for "songkran" and you will see the best videos are all in Pattaya. Plus it's 7 days long in Pattaya, it's only 3 days long everywhere else in Thailand, and they don't sleep in Pattaya so it's going all night even at 4am in the morning they are out in the streets. Best time I ever had.

My friends house in Issan. But then of course you won'tbe going there. The places everyone have told you are the big parties but anywhere you are is great. You don't have to be in New York to enjoy New Years eve.

If you like tourist type of fun, Pattaya, Phuket, Bangkok and Chiangmai are the places to be. Foreigners go there to enjoy the water-fights with the locals.

If you want more traditional kind of feel to Songkran, go to the other cities and see what the locals really do on their own, without the foreigners.

Bangkok go to the Khao San Road, Pattaya has their Songkran later to go their the following weekend.

Everywhere in Thailand is nice for Songkran but Bangkok gets quiet for Songkran lots of people go home to the village.

But Khao San Road is not Quiet

Khoosan road in bangkok where all the backpackers stay,is well worth going it is great fun.I went to the village where my wife comes from and also had a brilliant time.I dont think it matters much because everbody is out to get you with water,enjoy yourself,i wish i was going this year.

Here are 219 actual photographs taken at the 2007 Songkran on Khao San Road in Bangkok to give you a realistic idea what Songkran is all about.

Khao San Road is a wild time and a jungle of bodies from one end to the other.

Experiencing Songkran anywhere is a must. There is simply no better time to be in Thailand.

Tips for success? Get the largest watergun you can find and station yourself where there is a never ending supply of water to reload! I guess a never ending supply of beer would not hurt either.
