Songkran Water Festival, Pattaya Beach, Thailand - This Thai tradition started hundreds of years ago, when, on the hottest day of the year, towns would set up arrival points at the town entrance, where locals would wait with flowers and cooling water, and would sprinkle water on incoming travelers to offer welcome. This tradition has changed a bit. Welcome to the annual, nation wide water fight. Adults, children, Thais and tourists all participate in trying to get each other as wet as they can. Put on shorts and a t-shirt, put your cell phone in a zip lock bag, and prepare to take part in a massive water throwing event. Everything from water guns, to buckets of water, to pickups driving around with 55 gallon drums of ice water, waiting to be thrown on anyone getting within range. This is a once in a lifetime experience definitely not to be missed. Other activities during Song Kran week will include a trip to the local island for swimming, sunbathing and great seafood. Also tours to local Chinese and Buddhist temples, trying your hand at go kart racing, feeding crocodiles and playing with tigers will fill your days, while the possibilities of filling your nights include great international food and endless dancing and partying options. If you only make one trip to Pattaya Beach, this is the one.

This trip originates in Pattaya Beach.

LITTLE LEFTOVER POINTS? Each country will be making occasional trips to in-country destinations on long weekends. Usually these three day trips cost between 2 and 3 points and make a good way to insure you get to use all your trip credits.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR TEFL COURSE SIGN UPS: We strongly advise that you do not book your TEFL course on a month that coincides with a trip you really want to go on. Should you decide to do this your TEFL course will be 8 weeks long due to you missing your allocated teaching English practice in Vietnam. We recommend that you do the TEFL course a month before going on a Vietnam TEFL trip, giving you time to find teaching job or travel around the other parts of the country or Asia.
