Thai new year on the island of Koh Tao

Posted on April 22, 2015April 22, 2015 by Lena

April – время запасаться оружием. Without water pistol difficult to survive in Tae 13-15 April. More information about diving in the New Year Weekday – our friend, daiv instruktor, Lena.

On Tao and around Thailand, just died down, my favorite holiday – Songkran or Thai New Year. В этом году у меня он прошел достаточно скромно, I worked, и к тому же на Тао пришел шторм. Some people say, this Songkran was the wet over the past few years, and in the literal sense.

But there was an occasion to review the photos and remember, как мы праздновали Сонгкран на Тао в прошлом году.

Wikipedia сухо сообщает нам:

Songkran (Thai. สงกรานต์) — тайский Новый год, отмечаемый 13 апреля-15 апреля. Сонгкран считается буддийским семейным праздником. On this day bring delicious dishes Buddhist clergy in deference to Buddhist philosophy. Home of the Buddha statue is washed with pure water with rose petals and jasmine. Thai youth in this day pouring water on each other. Корнями этот праздник уходит в Древнюю Индию, and borrowed from the name of the "Songkran", означающее на санскрите «переход», in this case the change of seasons. Traditional for this festival pouring water symbolized the call to the beginning of the rainy season to produce a good harvest.

And it absolutely does not transfer to a cheerful madness, what is happening on the streets that day, In some cities, the holiday lasts three days or even longer, but the Tao с Самуи его празднуют один день.

And so most recently in 2558 year (Thai calendar) и не в далекой-далекой галактике, and the Kingdom of Thailand, province Surattani, on the island of Ko Tao, there was Thai New Year.

Everything from small to large stocking water pistols, guns, buckets, woks, basins, generally, everyone, than you can pour your neighbor. Considered, wherein the water should be cold, so many special pre-mixed it with ice. The buckets are bred food colorings, as well as talc, which translates into an active, getting enough sleep and just smear on passers.

Many in the Songkran dress up not only, in traditional colorful shirts, but also more original costumes.

The company of my dive center has chosen a strategically advantageous position on a busy street on the way to the main pier at one of the guesthouses. No tourist had left that day with Tao dry!

Songkran, as well as our New Year, pretty traumatic holiday. Alcohol and pouring water passing bikes and cars do their dirty deed. So every year released a memo that, how to behave At this holiday. That's what the tourist police asked not to do в этом году:

  • Do not drink and drive
  • Not watered with ice-water, dirty water, powder with water or foam
  • Do not pour water bikes drivers
  • Do not pour water into the cars and houses
  • Do not use a powerful water pistols
  • Do not water the people, carrying luggage, photo equipment or other valuables
  • Do not drink alcohol in the areas intended for the celebration
  • Do not use pickup trucks for transportation of barrels of water and watering of people
  • Not to perform obscene dances
  • Use waterproof bags to protect personal belongings
  • Keep track of things
  • Odevatsya well, Shorts and T-shirts are mandatory

Of course everything went as usual, and the list could easily be considered, as a list, what to do and what to expect в этот день.

songkran_na_tao_19

From my own experience, if doused – not be offended, do not scream and do not try to get into a fight. Ready or not, here I come!

Также каждый год говорят о том, that it is necessary to call the people to behave modestly, including European tourists, which so impressed the holiday, that they sometimes do not see the very shores, and Thai youth not far behind them. В этом году Министерство Культуры Таиланда даже выпустило социальную рекламу с осуждением «сексуальных танцев, open clothes ... "

Did not help….

Despite their warnings, Сонгкран остается одним из самых разгульных и веселых праздников в мире. Likely, because it allows adults to feel like children again and how to get up to mischief! A great reason to come to Tai was in April, чтобы собственными глазами увидеть эту вакханалию:)

Savadi pi May ka! Happy New Year! See you next year!

P.S. При планировании поездки в Thailand во время Сонгкрана нужно учесть, that many institutions are closed for a few days, Thais go to rest, so tickets for buses and ferries is better to buy. When movements count time with a reserve, Roads usually plugs from pickup trucks with idle, ну и конечно, убирайте все ценное в непромокаемые сумки или пакеты.

    А я новый год праздновал на диком пляже острова Бал. Было очень волшебно и необычно. Это мой первый нг в таких краях, а произошло это потому что я решил отправиться в Азию,освоил удаленную работу и вот уже 9 месяцев живу в разныхстранах, работаю в интернете и чувствую свободу в крови. Это нереально круто. Всем советую! Если нужно подсказать как начать,могу это сделать 🙂

At the Kazan Cathedral we saw Seryozha. It was a man for 40 (looked exactly older), stubble and short-cut head, his shirt was unbuttoned on this hot summer day. And on the shoulders flaunted the stars, what stuff, in the zone, criminal authorities.

Leha and I were also drunk, but could not help but wonder how this man became Seryoga, hanging around the Kazan Cathedral. We introduced ourselves as the authors of a student newspaper, such reporters are foolish and that's what Seryozha told:
