shygye Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 How can driving after sunset with all the drunk drivers on the roads be safer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 You have the Abrams tank and 50 cal guns! bring them on!! Usually, the water throwing stops after sunset, but still, extreme caution is needed, IMO. The problem with the water throwing is they throw at any moving target; walking, motorbike, car, etc. Plus, they may add ice cubes or hot peppers to the water that they throw...farkin azzholes and usually farangs doing this crap...no worries, just use the 50 cal...

rickfarang Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Driving upcountry during Songkran is really a kick in the butt if you haven't done it before (otherwise tiring). Just keep your windows closed and be prepared to stop for the odd blockade (where they will wash your car, leaving it soaked and smeared with rice flour) especially on secondary roads. Smile and wave, and everybody will enjoy it. If you plan on flying any part of the trip, book your flights NOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitelotuslane Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 I STRONGLY disagree with driving at night. Contrary to PFF (Popular Farang Folklore), most deaths don't happen as a direct result of the festivities, but due to drunk driving. To be honest drunk driving happens at just about any time of the day, but especially at night. You should not have too much trouble on the main highways though; just follow highway 1 all the way through. I'd drive as early as possible; leave at 4 or 5am.

Nervous God Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 I thought most deaths where on motorbikes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentors Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 I may have to drive from Bangkok to mae Sot during the holiday period. Just a bit nervous considering the number of road deaths over these days. Any tips......apart from the obvious one of "DON'T" during Songkhran and New Year Season i usually sit not in my or any car.

gobbledonk Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Saw an hilariously fat Farang on a (relatively) tiny motorbike on Suk last night - that poor bugger must loom large as a target of immense interest to the morons with the super soakers. Nothing like endangering the lives of others in the name of a 'good time' - happy slapping, anyone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekong Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 No it was the fact that you had a pack of tooth picks in each hand off in balloon chasing mode that gave it away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
