20 18 electronic music party carnival guide of Thailand Songkran Festival
What is the Songkran Festival in Thailand?
It "burns" when it meets water, it is loud day and night, it is a sense of joy accompanied by water stains in the sun, it is a carnival in which thousands of people jump and sway in the strong electric sound of drums!
In April, the peak season has passed and the rainy season has not yet arrived. This is the best tourist season in Thailand-
The world's most lively carnival water splashing festival, the most awesome water splashing electronic wet party, as well as traditional temple prayers, Thai songs and dances, and street food, are the real Thai Carnival and the real Thai New Year!
1. Time of Songkran Festival in Thailand
The Songkran Festival in Thailand was held from April 13 to April 15, but in fact the carnival basically started on a small scale from June 1 June1day and June 12, and from June 13 to June/kloc.
Although Thai companies, banks and many Thai-run shops will be closed during the Songkran Festival, in every sub-battlefield of the Songkran Festival Carnival, small vendors on the side will sell everything needed for this open-air wet party, including water guns, food, soda and beer.
2. Bangkok Songkran Festival
In Bangkok, the sub-battlefields are usually Jiushan Road, Xilong Road and RCA. Many hotels will also have special swimming pool splashing parties. In these battlefields, people fight with water guns, water basins, buckets, water polo and anything that can be used as water splashing tools.
Kau Shan Road in Bangkok is the favorite place for European and American tourists and the base camp for backpackers in Bangkok. The situation is quite intense, and it will never take more than 5 seconds to get wet from head to toe.
You are always welcome to go in and buy a glass of beer in front of the roadside bar, which will add another fire to your already high mood. Some bars will also send a DJ to your door to add fun to this carnival.
In short, the arrival of the Songkran Festival means that you should give up elegance, forget reserve, take off high heels and put on quick-drying short-sleeved shorts, even if you are soaked through, you should laugh heartily.
Was thrown to the point of collapse? Then go back! !
Xilong is actually a gay area, but in Thailand, a super tolerant country, there are not so many restrictions at all. Welcome to Xilong! There are usually many Thai locals there.
During the Songkran Festival, the entire street of Xilong, which is 5 kilometers long, will be closed as a battlefield. Fire engines will stop at the intersection, and the hoses with thick bowls will directly rush to the crowd.
RCA, one of the most famous nightclub districts in Bangkok, is called Royal City Avenue. Although it is only six or seven hundred meters long, it is an old-school nightclub area, which is synonymous with Bangkok nightclubs.
During the Songkran Festival, it will also become a large disco scene.
Route66 and Flix &；; Slim and other nightclubs will have large-scale Songkran theme parties, water cannons "strafe" the crowd, and super electronic blessing, and nightclub lovers simply can't make sense here.
3. Chiang Mai Songkran Festival
Several sub-battlefields in Chiang Mai are Tapemen in the east of the ancient city of Chiang Mai, which is the largest and most lively Sunday night market in Chiang Mai. On the edge of the moat outside the ancient city of Chiang Mai; There is also Huaykaew Road extending from the northwest corner of the ancient city to the northwest.
In Tapemen sub-battlefield, you can also buy all the necessary equipment by the roadside, but just like no soldier will go to the battlefield unarmed, I suggest you prepare all the necessary equipment in advance. After all, you can only fight well if the force is worth it ~
Others did bring weapons into the arena, but they were soaked before they could "reload" ...
Moreover, Chiang Mai is very popular with European and American tourists, and they will not be so reserved as we are. When you come to Chiang Mai, you must keep pace with everyone.
In addition, although this is an ancient city, the fighting atmosphere is not weak at all. The large-scale sound system on the roadside will definitely make the atmosphere of this large-scale Thai carnival crazy!
Compared with other cities, Chiang Mai has a huge amount of water splashing. After all, it is not convenient to get water by the river.
Another very popular place is Huaykaew Road, which extends westward from the northwest corner of the ancient city. There are four or five huge stages every year, where Thai pop rock bands and pop bands will perform live. Coupled with the appearance of DJ, it can be said that the atmosphere never goes down.
Huaxin Road is not too far from Ningman Road. People who revel during the day will gather there at night to continue their carnival. Bars and nightclubs there usually hold some themed activities. Well, these activities are dry goods.
4. Pattaya Songkran Festival
Pattaya is the longest carnival in all cities in Thailand. The warm-up started around 1 1 and 12, and 13 officially started, after which the fierce fighting will last until 19.
It's not enough just to play with water? There is a bubble carnival waiting for you here.
By then, the beach road will be completely closed. You can find a big bucket or water tank in front of any bar, and the fire truck will be everyone's supply station. Excellent live music and foam machine will ignite the drunken Pattaya.
European and American girls here will even start this carnival directly in bikinis. On the beach, there will be some sand sculptures, beauty contests and live performances.
If you can't reach Thailand between 13- 15, you can consider going straight to Pattaya before 19.
5. Puji Songkran Festival
The most lively battlefields in Phuket are near Bangla and Beach Road in Patong Beach and Karen Beach. Like Pattaya, the girls will go into battle directly in bikinis, and they are very happy.
In Phuket, the police will also change their guns into water guns and join the water splashing carnival. But as tourists, we'd better not "attack" the police at will.
6. Thai New Year activities
Just as we always go home to reunite with our families during the Spring Festival, Thais will also go home to spend holiday time with their families during the Songkran Festival.
For them, there are actually some other activities during this festival, such as cleaning at home, giving merit to monks in temples, sprinkling water on believers in temples, and slowly pouring water with flowers into the hands of elders at home. They think they will get the blessing of their elders, as well as some Buddhist bathing activities, beauty contests and street snacks in various places.
7. Matters needing attention in Thailand Songkran Festival
Protect valuables such as mobile phones with waterproof bags, and important documents such as passports can be placed in the hotel safe;
Pay attention to property safety and beware of pickpockets;
Use public transport to go to various water splashing places;
White clothes will be more breathable when they are wet.
Don't throw water at monks, babies or old people;
Do not use ice water, dirty water or boiled water;
Don't splash water on the motorcycle, which may easily lead to traffic accidents;
Besides, since we're going to the Songkran Festival, why not wear a raincoat?
During the Songkran Festival, remember these two Thai words: Sawasdee pee mai = "Happy New Year" and Suksan wan Songkran Festival = "Happy Songkran Festival".
Happy to be splashed, not afraid of embarrassment. If you don't want to be splashed, you'd better stay indoors and only be active in the hotel.
During the Songkran Festival, you may also put a layer of white paste on your face. Don't worry, it's made of talcum powder ~
8. Thai electronic syllables: ten thousand people wet electronic.
If the water war doesn't satisfy you, then go and learn about the wet electronic carnival ~
S2O, the full name of S2O Songkran Festival Music Festival, is one of the most awesome music festivals in Thailand.
There is an excellent electronic music lineup, fun music scenes, cool lighting effects, and a huge water gun "shooting" blessing. Moreover, this wild dance in the open air lasted for three days. Which nightclub can refuse coffee?
There are many famous electric syllables in the world, but only Thailand has made wet electric syllables! The interpretation of strength is "drop"! (But there is another syllable that splashes water in September in Thailand. )
In S2O, because it lasts for a long time, girls can wear swimsuits directly as the base, and boys had better choose clothes made of quick-drying materials.
In addition, flip-flops are also out of place in this large crowd, with high population density. If you are not careful, your feet will be "only flip-flops" ... In addition, don't forget sun protection and mosquito repellent ~
In the eyes of Thais, splashing water is to wash away all misfortunes and make a new start. If you don't "start over" on New Year's Day and Spring Festival, please seize this opportunity to wash away the old dust!
After all, only by washing, discarding and clearing all the old wounds and residues can we make room for new energy. Some carnival is sexy, some carnival is dangerous, some carnival calls for peace, some carnival calls for love and freedom, and the carnival in Thailand is so straightforward, so simple and rude, so kind and caring-
Are you here? So happy and lucky, please pick it up!
