Yes Bangla is closed to traffic, Soi Eric closes for one or two days, every other bar gets covered in plastic sheeting (speakers, tv, hifi, etc). Market stalls sell mulit-coloured pump up water pistols ( no pistols does not describe these are more like cannons).
Water and talcom powder are used to decorate passers by - water only for the policemen!
People drive around in pick up trucks with 45 gallon drums of water on the back to keep the people on the truck readily supplied.
A lot of expats go into hiding, as it has changed from a religious festival involving the sprinkling of water to full fledged farang water fight.
Its normally really hot at that time of year so its no big deal getting soaked - just dress to get wet.
Also it combines with phuket bike week so lots of bikers in town from all over se asia, big carnival atmosphere, seforum.xxxe at the end of bangla, etc.
