If you get some free time look it up on YouTube and see if it's something you'd be interested in. I'd post a link but I'm on my phone : \
Sonkran can be fun .... but it depends were you are. It should really last for a day but in some parts it lasts a week. A few years ago I spent Sonkran at Koh Samui and it was fine. I then went to Pattaya and Sonkran carried on for the next week .. but only by the pissed up expats and tourists throwing water at everybody. I had to sneak out of my hotel and nearly leopard crawl round the back of the bars nearby. I also had a plastic carrier bag with dry clothes in case some cnut managed to soak me.
