  • It took 3 years but finally Songkran is upon us here in Thailand and I leave Pattaya to show you a Songkran you've never seen before. The joy and euphoria here is why I love Songkran, and during one fleeting moment, I believe it is the best place to be on Planet Earth.

    The Thai people, in my opinion, are one of the warmest, friendliest, respectful people I’ve met. It’s just their vibe that draws me to Thailand, year on year. Thanks for the video and RIP Vee 🙏🏻

    My late husband and I always wanted to live in Thailand...but then he passed suddenly in early 2016.
    For that reason, I deliberately moved to Thailand by myself, taking him along with me in memory. I felt he was with me, beside me, on every journey there.
    LIVE for Vee! Keep EXPLORING for Vee! She is there beside you and cheering you on!

      Wow Beverly that's pretty brave, I know a lot of couples talk about retiring in Thailand or other places in SE Asia but when it ultimately comes to make the move they find it too intimidating. To do it alone after suffering to the loss of your soul mate is very impressive and inspiring.
      Good on you ! Sincerely

    Thanks for showing us how Thai people celebrate Songkran. The sense of euphoria was evident. I remember being at Sanam Luang in Bangkok for the Kings Birthday on Dec 5th 2000 and also being pretty much the only foreigner. It never felt like a problem and a smile always went down well.
    I'm moving to Phratamnak Hill in a couple of weeks, hope our paths will cross at some point.

    I've watched about a dozen Songkran videos to varying degrees in length. This was one of the best. It seems to capture the true joy of the Thai people and their holiday. And I'm not just saying that. Some others came across as touristy, drunkeredy or mean spirited when it came to water splashing.
    Best regards,

    Watching your video brought back so many memories of Songkran holidays going back some 22 years. First of all, great video. I’ve celebrated Songkran in Korat, Bangkok, Pattaya and Kantalarak (Si Sa Ket). My best Songkrans have been in Korat and Si Sa Ket, ones with Thai families to be my guide. Your absolutely right about the joy, happiness and good will shared by the Thais. I’m very blessed to have experienced the authentic Thai version of Songkran. Now I’ve had great times with all the Songkrans that I’ve participated with, just the one’s spent with a Thai family are much more meaningful and fun. Thank you for sharing your experience with all of us.

    After watching you guys for a few years with your interesting video reviews I like everyone was saddened by your loss. Tonight I lost my Father and its so strange living in happiness in Hua Hin while losing the old man back in the UK from a stroke. It gave me inspiration watching the bravery and acceptance that you and especially Thais have to passing on the next life that awaits. We in the western world don't talk enough about the ineveitable.

My condolences to you and Vee’s family, loved ones and friends…!

    Hi, Lucas, I have seen lots of Songkran videos over the years, but none have showen the sheer joy and euphoria on the faces of the Thai's the way that this video in Bangsaen has. I understand why you love it. and I am sure that Vee would love it too if she was there with you. Honouring her memory this way is excellent. A great video Lucas.

When I experience my first Songkran it will be in Bang Saen 100% Thank you and Vee again.
