Bangkok hit by zombie apocalypse? Songkran 2019.
Is it the apocalypse? Have zombies invaded Bangkok and taken everyone away?
No, it’s the one time of the year when one of Asia’s biggest and busiest cities is calm and peaceful, for just one day. Well, actually just the morning because this afternoon they come out to play, Songkran style.
Welcome to Songkran 2019, Bangkok.
Whilst the residents have headed ‘up country’, or wherever, for the annual Thai New Year celebrations the nation’s capital takes a big deep breath, assured that things will return to the usual mayhem in the day or so.
