Home for the Holidays: Biggest Thai Travel Week Ahead

Thais will be coming home from all over the world.
It's time to be with family. Songkran "Thai New Years."
Bangkok is preparing for it's annual exodus by declaring Free Express Way Access beginning April 9 for certain freeways.
It's also the season for a hefty increase in road check points for drunk drivers.

Of course there are those "Grumpy Old Men."  They are stocking up on groceries, preparing to become shut-ins for a week.  They want no part in the exuberant water dousing.

Rules are simple: Dawn to Dusk, Outdoors.
Weapons of choice: Anything that holds water. Fire hose, garden hose, cups, buckets, water guns.
Toy water guns are already on sale at almost every Ma and Pa store including major Department stores.

The perfect weapon is available at most garden stores.  Sturdier built than any toy water gun.

       
Wide opening allows for use of  ICE cubes, hand pump, adjustable spray, and finger trigger.
May be used for garden purposes after the holidays.
