Songkran in Bangkok

[sydneyboy1]

Songkran in Bangkok in 2025 is 13 to 15 April. A question. Is it completely over then? If for example I arrive on 17 April is it all over? Opinions among people I know differ as whether it’s a desirable time to be in Thailand but I think it’s something I would prefer to avoid.

I agree entirely. I live in Pattaya, where the Songkran madness lasts a week! I hide in my condo from 13th to 16th and then flee to Bangkok which is like a ghost town while everyone is recovering from the three days of madness, and I return on 20th.
