As far as celebrating Songkran my award goes to the Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya who managed to combine the traditional ways of the beautiful Songkran festival with the out of control idiotic frenzy that draws tourists from all over the world to the LOS - Land of Soakings.
In the morning monks were invited to carry out the gentle and respectful traditional Thai Songkran activity of sprinkling refreshing water a few drops at a time on the hands of elderly citizens.
In the afternoon a frenzied foam party engulfed the swimming pool area with activities that could only be conducted once the monks had retired back to their temple.
In the evening a delightdul and tasty BBQ buffet was laid on with emphasis on Asian dishes and Seafood specialities.
My kind of day - Invite next year please.
