Oh, I don't know, I have had some pretty old looking farts hit me with a bucket of water in Pattaya and only in Pattaya. Inebriated smelly old farts too and it that's your definition of fun, count me out.
I find that most of those who proclaim their love of Songkran have their own cars and drive around with the windows up and the ac on. Now, if you put all your windows down, I'll believe you.
Last time I was in Pattaya two days before the official Songkran dates in Bangkok and 5 days before the official Pattaya dates, I was in a baht bus with my luggage and a lap top. Driving along Beach road next to a bar these drunk farangs were throwing water. They took advantage of the bus slowing for traffic and our being unprotected fully dressed with luggage I guess added to their fun. Two hit us with huge buckets of ice water point blank range. That is not fun, it's juvenile. I was lucky that my lap top survived.
