I was amazed at how friendly the people there greeted each other, smiled at each other, and splashed water on each other like they've known each other for ten years. It felt so peaceful❤ Happy New Year Thailand🎉
I don't remember when I last participated in Songkran festival after I left Thailand for US 30+years ago. Back then we did not have water gun, just used a bucket and poured water to people. However, the fun and joy are still the same. Miss Thailand!
The advantage of using a water gun is that it is quite water-saving. If you splash water by using a bucket or water bowl like before, you will need more water than usual. Which would be a problem if there was a drought that year. 😊
Hi Chris my name is Matt, I live in Hawaii and I love your channel. You made me love Thailand. I am planning to move there next year. I am retired and getting ready to make the move.
Avoided it all for the first 2 days, but when walking back from Supermarket Saturday a 4 year old boy stepped up in front of me and completely soaked me. Happy Songkran Thailand -Thais, the happiest people on the planet.
Chris, how amazing is it that, in a city of 12 million people, you can't walk 20 feet without being recognized!!! I'd say your channel is pretty popular with the people of Thailand! Congrats!
It looked very organized and a courteous crowd in Bangkok. Nothing like I remember in Chiang Mai. Complete chaos for four days. The best time ever. Did it nine years in a row. You and your wife make a great couple.
Songkran Day in Thailand has become a day of friendship. of people of all countries who come together to play in the water fun wish you happiness On Songkran Day in Thailand🎉🎉🎉❤😊
Wow look like you guy so much fun 🤩. I wish I could be there for Songkran Thai new year. 🇺🇸🇹🇭💒🤵🏼. I love Thailand 🇹🇭 Thailand is my Number one country for me to retirement and living in Thailand for full time of my life.
ohhh I've been to 9 sankran, last was 2019 up Chiang Mai. 2 in Bangkok, 2 in Hua Hin, 2 in Phuket 2 in Koh Samui ... miss Thailand, so must go there soon .. Thailand roadtrip coming up from september and october.. and a lot of new places will be visit, thank you Chris for show me them through your videos :)
Thanks for taking us to Songkran Festivals around Sukhumvit area. It seems so much fun. Everybody is enjoying themselves. Yes, like Hailey said: Thailand is alive! I am a Bangkokian and we enjoy our Songkran another way - going to the temple. Anyway, water splashing brings me good memories when I was young. We used water buckets then.
Wish I was in Thailand for Songkran, but had the next best thing. I went to my local Thai food takeaway and gave them some bottles of wine to celebrate and the owner Pen threw a bucket of water at me😂Happy Songkran from the UK
@@RetiredWorkingForYou love your blogs Chris. I was out there for 3 weeks and back to Wales in March. Wish I bumped into you. Maybe next time my friend. 🙏
Insane much....😊 but love the way you embracing the water gun shooting out at you from all surrounding people 😂😂 taking it all in, once a year only that we don't complain when we get wet and in fact smiling back and blessed the person who is getting us soaked..hahaha❤😂❤ you can only love Thailand for bringing in this wonderful festival that truly brought the smile on our face. Many countries and some parts of the world are now joining in to the Thai New year ways of celebration. The latest one is said to be Newyork. Maybe very soon this Thai traditional will bring even more happiness for people around the world. 🎉
i am watching from granite falls north carolina U.S.A. . such a awesome video gotta love the thai people and there outlook on life so awesome wish the whole world was like that. haley has such a great attitude. the scene in front of hotters was so cool to see. so glad they can celebrate this year after the lockdown let them have fun. Happy Songkran. i seen some people when water was sprayed they looked unhappy what do the expect it is a party go with it and have fun. the video quality and sound was good all the way thru the video.
It looks like you're having so much fun 🎉We can't wait to make it back to Thailand ❤ The face painting is to ward off evil spirits and to give protection to the wearer 😊 watching from Dallas, TX, USA
I’m in California watching you! Great video. Was in Thailand last Songkran 2022. And it’s nothing like this year. Last year we had to quarantine in the hotel for 24 hours, wish I was there this year. Look fun. 🎉. I’ll be there next year for sure
Was just there in February I'll be back in October but next year for sure I'll be doing songkran in thailand. Apparently you ran into my fellow friend from sandpoint Idaho 555 small world. Hope you all had a great time celebrating 🍾 😀
My first time experiencing Songkran and it’s beautiful! Our hotel is on that street , man hopefully we didn’t miss the opportunity to say hello . Today , I’m staying inside the hotel because I’m under the weather !
I just laughed for almost an hour with a smile on my face and tears in my eyes, that was the best video I've seen on your channel. It's 34 degrees F in Denver, I want to be there!
I am home now in Vancouver, WAshington but I was in the EXACT spot you were shooting from 2 days ago when Songkran started. I was staying on Soi 13. You should mention that there hasn't been a Songkran festival in 3 years and that is one of reasons why this year is exceptionally exciting for the people of Thailand.
Aloha CEO glad to see you and Haily out getting drenched and having some good clean fun happy Songkran to Y’all shareholders as well Hope to be back this summer and catch up with the crew for a follower meet up help out with a pay it forward or just talk story. Aloha. E
17:45 Black Label and maybe some JD. Fun fact: the first time I went to Thailand, me and my drinking best friend would get a quarter of Red Label, and a 500ml bottle of coke/pepsi etc, have it drunk half by non drinker friends in the group, then mix all the whiskey in the soda and drink that while exploring the streets. That was a really good time. It was my first time in Thailand, as well as my first international trip with my own money. And it felt so much freedom, because I had never taken such trips before in my life. This was 5 years ago. I've been to Thailand again last year, with my best friend. That was awesome too. Thanks for your videos. Reminds of the simple fun times just walking the streets abroad and having fun just soaking in the experience.
Already nostalgic for Thailand and I just flew back into Canada today. Yep, was flying in the middle of Songkran. It started on the 12th in Samui, here and there. Saw a mom with her little daughter early morning throwing water on motorbikes as they passed, using shallow dishes and a bucket. Parties on the beach started on the 12th also. Yet, here I am in Canada. Waah! There's some waterworks for ya.
for your question in 33.35 min. That powder is called soft-prepared chalk (or Din-Sor-Phong in Thai) is a powder used to mix with incense or scented water. For applying thinly to your face and body to cool down. Therefore bring to play in Songkran festival as well. (But If you don't like, you can reject :) Happy Songkran Day :) I'm glad you're enjoying this.
Dude, I hope you never mess up their relationship with you and Haley what a trooper she is. She wants to have fun and participate in everything and she’s funny as hell. Don’t let that one go dude
Welcome to Thailand. Happy to see u fun. Normally, songkarn start from 11-23 April 1. 11-16 all area of Thailand 2. 13-18 : may be Chonburi, Rayong Chantaburi area 3. 19 April : pattaya area 4. 23 April the last day : Paradang area (Samutprakarn province ) whole day near Bangkok ( Thomburi side ) Hope you continuous enjoy songkarn festival

Thanks for bringing so much joy to our experience in Thailand - not only during songkran of course but it is special indeed!

อย่ารอช้ากลับไปเยี่ยมเมืองไทยบ้านเราบ่อยๆนะครับ ผมอยู่อเมริกาเกือบ50ปีแต่ได้กลับไปเยี่ยมเมืองไทยบ้านเกิดของเราทุกๆปีครับ
อายุ 50 เล่นสงกรานต์ด้วยปืนฉีดน้ำมาตั้งแต่จำความได้แล้วค่ะ ปืนส่วนตัวที่ซื้อกระบอกแรกเป็นรูปจรเข้ กระบอกเล็กๆ
ที่วัดจะทำน้ำขายโดยใส่สีเหลืองใส่ถุงรัดหนังยางใส่น้ำประมาณ 1 ลิตร เวลาใช้ก็กัดก้นถุงให้เป็นรูเล็กๆ ก็ฉีดรดน้ำได้ไกลและประหยัดน้ำดี
เมื่อ30ปีที่ผ่านมาไม่มีปืนฉีดนำ้ครับ ในถานะคนไทยยินดีต้อนรับยินดีพาเที่ยวฟรีฉันอยู่ตัวเมืองลพบุรี ครับ
i love this comment!
