Is there a Songkran water festival on Khao San Road?

Dear readers,

We are two backpackers from the Netherlands and we arrive in Bangkok tomorrow. We have a hostel near Khao San Road. We would like to experience the water party. Now we heard that it is not possible there this year because everything is neatly made for the coronation. Is that right? We would regret that very much. And where should we be then? Somewhere where many young people come?

Greetings

Eliza and Cindy

Go to Pattaya. Immediately buy protective goggles.

All organized activities have been cancelled.
A Thai is not so quick to dictate the law, so there will probably be water thrown.
BKK is a huge city and that songkran is a common folk "festivity". In practice, it is also almost entirely a "party" for youngsters.

Walk a few blocks and you're right in the middle of the wet. Or ask the management of your hostel.

Just come to the real 'water war' area in Pattatya.

Here you can 'let off steam' from 12 to 19 April .
