airport or in Bangkok. One of the regular air-conditioned buses will
take you directly to Pattaya, which departs from the airport or

Every year in April the water festival takes place in Thailand and most south East Asian countries. It is held to wish for a lot of rain for the rice crops. While this festival is friendly in most other countries it is especially interesting and festive in Pattaya Thailand. Sometimes a little to festive actually and the death toll on the roads increase during this period to nearly 1000…regardless it’s a fun festival to participate in.
Most Thais also engage in a number of activities, like cleaning houses, making merit and giving alms, releasing birds and fish, bathing Buddha images, paying one's respects to elders by pouring water on their hands and asking for their blessings, throwing water at one another, and engaging in merry making. Most cities and towns also hold a Miss Songkran beauty contest, and as with most Asian women their beauty is exceptional. Besides, the splashing is definitely a welcome relief to the hot weather that reigns in Thailand at that time of the year.
As in every part of the country during this festival a pail of water might be thrown on you. It might be a good idea to have your own water ready also to defend yourself! Several events are scheduled in Papayas: one of the country's top holiday destinations, where Sonqkran can last for a week, culminating on April 19th of every year. A parade is held in the city during this day ending up on Beach Road where cultural shows are held. If you are coming to Thailand make sure to have reservations because things book up quickly. Additionally if you are not into the bar seen, it might be an idea to meet women on Online Dating Thailand sites.
