Mackwell - how can you say you love pattaya without going for Songkran!????

I know its 'slightly' high season but its not as crowded as Xmas and News Years and a traditional thai holiday (although you have to see beyond the water fights at the bars!)
I dont like crowds as well and prefer a 'normal' quiet pattaya but Songkran and Loy Krathong have to be done at least once. If you try it and hate it , fair enough but dont let other prunes discourage a Songkran trip for you. Me and my friends (at least 4-5 per year ; started with me alone!) have beeb going for 10 years without fail , despite jobs losses , marriage , new borns etc etc. We go the cheap charlie way ; although some of my friends can afford the Hilton!
Still .... its your money and your time but we have to experience as much as we can before the lights go out!
Anyone (only serious guys , no 'just asking' bullshit guys) - Let me know if you want to go Songkran 2013 and I'll let you know the schedule and hotels and prices we are doing.
BTW , I love your Pattaya Utd avatar! Always wanted to catch a home game but never had the time!
