April 06 worth a visit

[Pompal 09.]

Hey, i am asking myself if i should go to Phuket next year 7th until 19th April.
Do you think it is still high season or do all the tourist left at latest in March.

Can anybody tell me if there is more party than in August??
I was there las year August. There was pretty much party. Is it in April the same or even more party?

Thank you very much!!!!!

early April is using still high season as Songkran, Thai new year, is in the middle of April. Resort prices are still at high season rates but lots of people.

Bars closed for Songkran but lots of fun with waterfights in streets.

do search for Songkran and read posts.

HI I20....
IN MY OPINION YOU WILL HAVE THE BEST HOLIDAY OF YOUR LIFE IF YOU GO TO LOS IN THOSE DATES.....IVE BEEN TO LOS MANY TIMES AND AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE YEAR..BUT THE FUN I HAD LAST SONGKRAN WAS PROBABLY THE BEST TOUR OF THEM ALL.......
HOTEL PRICES WERE FINE....C AND N HOTEL 800 BAHT PER NITE......
BARS DID NOT CLOSE........AND THERE WAS WOMEN EVERY WHERE.
ITS THE THAI NEW YEAr and they love to celebrate !!!!!!!!!
SO GET YOUR AR5E OUT THERE AND PARTY LIKE YOU NEVER PARTYED BEFORE

Sorry Seafox but...

"Bars closed for Songkran"

Inever saw that one (except for Soi Eric and so for one day)

Bangla bars all open for all days

Bars have been open when I've been there , cashiers hiding under sheets of plastic. Last year thought I'd take a safe break and headed upstairs to a bar (possibly Blue Note) ,walked in and got an ice bucket (with ice) thrown over me. Girls were dancing on tables with water guns ,soaking everyone in sight. Had to keep covering my beer to stop it getting diluted. :biggrinlo

I thought the bars were closed for 1 day at least. Well I am glad to hear that they are not, I stand corrected. Thanks for telling me as I do not want to give anyone the wrong information. I am actaully thinking about going the same time so this is good to know. I was not too worried about them being closed as IJ, Allybaba23, Zeaker, and a few other BM's said they had a great time at Songkran 2005.

ina word YES go its a blast.
talking of which i still owe Ally a good soaking , i havent forgotten

Some bars do close for the first day at least, this is mainly to protect the bar itself, and to allow the staff to enjoy, what is basically a Thai holiday. Some people dont understand a sign which says "NO WATER IN THE BAR"

 

[aglael l]

Most bangla bars are open aand as much as its possible to drink in that waterfight you can still get a drink..

Its more establishments with decor etc that close to protect the place..

Looks like I'll be postponing my my intended time by 2 months and booking my first trip to LOS for the mega-party then :cheergal: :cheers: :cheergal:

Advisable to book a hotel/flight early for roughly 10th-24th april06 in phuket?

 

[Gio]

Always advisable to book when you know what your travel plans are

 

[Benny Boodle]

thing is Jonny you enjoy it far to much :cheers:

 

[blueflamex171]

He likes getting "wet".

 

[Giny]

I would book a hotel if you are sure of the one you want.
As far as flights go I would wait until January as there are usually a lot of flight reductions here in UK around that time.

[No 1....]

Damn, Ally, does this mean that all the BG's will be out of those pretty pink ribbed condoms that you give them as presents so there will be no pretty pink lubricated water balloons at Songkran since you will not be there?

Hope all is well at home with you and your little irish dove.

 

[jony]

I guess so, But they might still have a few pairs of fluffy pink handcuffs left over if your lucky

And everything is going ok with the little ladie so far, But there's still plenty of time for me to fu*k that up like I always do....lol..
