Just in my view it's a stupid idea, 3 days is more than long enough

Loy Krathong was a pleasant occasion on Jomtien Beach last week, with its lanterns, krathongs and children playing in the sea. A family occasion, gentle and very Thai. That evening lingers in my memory as London freezes on my arrival back home.

Songkran, on the other hand....for me, once bitten (in 1999) twice shy. I agree with TMax.

I love Songkran

Particularly Soi Bukhao,drunken young tattooed farangs with high powered 🔫 water pistols having fun 😊

This is better news:

"The National Soft Power Development Committee has clarified its idea of staging the Songkran festival for the whole month of April, saying the water-splashing festivities will still be held on April 13-15...

....while other cultural events will be organised nationwide during the entire month. The move follows heavy criticism that the idea is impractical and a month-long water splashing event would be a huge waste..."
