Thanks for the question. The weather in Thailand was one of the reasons. The country was suffering from the missing rain from the period before.
On officials request, the "waist" of water had to be reduced to the minimum. In some areas the number of Songkran days was reduced by one day. In Chiang Mai for example, all stages with dancing girls were not allowed because her "disgusting" behavior on the stage from the year before was not eccepted anymore from the military government. So, mostly stages with Karaoke or equal. At the Taipe-Gate special rules for clothing for the official days. No alcohol and a lot of tourist police to hinder everything.
Thatīs with some words how to reduce the amount of farangs. You see the same at the beaches, a lot of special laws to keep all tourists stay at home.. |

By MK - wamtec@comcast.net Sat 08/10/16 18:45:00 GMT Great stuff,,,,very nice.
Question: all these nice scenes happened in 2015. I did not go to Thailand for the last few years, and in 2016 I searched the net for nice pics and youtube videos, but could not find any great scenes from 2016 as I used to find on the net in prior years. So...I wonder what happened in 2016 cos in prior years there was lots of great stuff to find, but 2016 was pretty much a dud.
We have seen similar things happen to wetlook pool parties and events in Germany and Russia too....i.e. in Germany the pool parties were once great, but in recent years, not so much. In Russia the wetlook event venues have changed largely due to 2 things...the weather...and security guards....i.e. in some years the weather was awful, and also in recent years some fountains have now become off limits and the security guards will not allow people to go in them....so things have switched over to different fountains that allow public water play.
In Thailand, we know the weather is never an issue....it is always consistently hot, In some years there were political demonsrations that curtailed some of the Songkran activities......but I don't think those were a factor in 2016 that caused Songkran to be devoid of decent wetlook.
Whatever it was that caused 2016 to be a bad year for wetlook at Songkran,,,,,,,lets hope the situation will get better at the 2017 Songkran.
