pieeyed Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 It is good to just take a rice mat, a cooler of refreshments and sit right on the beach. Never know if it will be raining which is always a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been doing that every year for a long time, although I prefered when this event was during the high season, with cooler nights and little worry of rain. Thais are good at these beach picnic events! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavens opened about 9 o clock, wind caused a sandstorm on the beach and everyone left. No ideas what happened after that. Great idea to have a fireworks display beginning of rainy season......

Seemed crazy as it was still raining. Moving this event from November to the hot and rainy season is madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mainly a family and young couples event. And because of the low tide there was loads of space and plenty of room for everyone. It was lovely to hear the waves lapping in synch with the firework. A great night....and no boring cynical fun hating nobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great night....and no boring cynical fun hating nobs. I have always enjoyed this event for many years now. And it was very well attended and surprisingly the newly extended beach was pretty full. Usually I am in a group of Thai women and a couple of Western men with mats, lots of snacks and some cold beers and it is a lot of fun. Pity the thunderstorm rolled in Saturday and spoiled it a bit, usually I do Friday too! Impossible to get out of town after, so a hotel in Walking distance is a good idea.

Perhaps your many years here gave made you cynical. My gripe is with the sour faced grumpy old men, usually ozzies, staring malevolently at people having fun. Ring any bells? Such a group of nen have ruined a pub on Pratumnak Soi 4. Check it out...you might enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
