Songkran Water Festival
Shankran Water Festival ♬
2010.04.12 ~ 15
Let's have fun!
Send a trip to Yok Kran Festival from Lotte Tourism to Bangkok
Thank you very much, thank you very much. :)
I think I've been to Bangkok 20 times, but somehow I have never been in Bangkok during the Shankran period.
Yonkran Festival, which was only heard in words!
There is an enormous water war on Khao San Road, and what to expect ... haha
Shankran is a new year festival in Thailand.
It is a period from the dry season to the rainy season, pouring water into each other so that the new year can be washed away during the year.
In addition, they rub each other's faces and pray for blessings!
I spent a happy day by imagining that I would enjoy the Shankran Festival with my whole body
The day before the departure of the trip, you will encounter a terrible newspaper article.
One Korean debris hit by Thai anti-government protests, evacuated injured emergency room
21 people died in bloodshed in Thailand
A Japanese journalist who was covering the scene due to anti-government protests in Thailand died !!
C ...
Since I went to Thailand about a month ago, people in red have blocked all over the street and have been protesting collectively.
It didn't affect the trip very much ...
Protests fought and protesters, soldiers and travelers were killed and injured.
Above all, the news that was desperate for me
Thailand's anti-government protest bleeds 'Chankran Festival canceled'
Most travelers were canceling their flights and bookings, and giving up their travels.
I also thought that Bangkok wouldn't be able to enjoy the Shankran Festival.
It's a really long day.
Eventually, I got on the plane with a phone call of acquaintances in the midst of negative news about the Bangkok protests;

When I arrived at the hotel at 2 am and I woke up, the warm sunlight of Bangkok welcomed me.
The character of the mom who rang in time
"Eunya, you were shooting and shooting on Khao San Road?
After sending her alone to the unstable Thai land, the worried tusk looked at the Internet.
Kak-kuk-kuk, yesterday, it was said that this guy was just announced by the chairman of the Khaosan Merchants Association (?).
Hahahahaha Lucky ♡
Change into comfortable clothes that can be wet immediately, and pack only the camera in the waterproof pack and head to Khaosan.
In case of protests, I might be blocked, so I have to take a bts and go to Victory Monument and change into a taxi-haha
I thought Shankran was canceled ...
So good!!
I came out of the hotel roughly.
헉-I didn't know it was night, but Bangkok during the 쏭 kran period is a completely different world !!
The face of Bangkok I have never seen before.
In the middle of the road, the gangs are ready to shoot water cannons like that.
Local residents play exciting music and dance with excitement.
As you drive around in the car, you can also pour water cannons to passersby or people next to you-
Being subject to terrorism is also like a car.
Even at night, the water play never ends!
A foreigner passing by is being caught and washed (?).
Ugh- I'm going to report that foreigner's sneakers.
I also left the hotel for a very short time to get to bts station
I was smeared on my face-lol
Kkek. fun!
Khao San Road Shankran scenery will be posted in the next post!
