Songkran at Wat Thai LA

[Stupid_American]

Thai New Year is April 13, 14 and 15.

Wat Thai LA will be expanding their vendors for the celebration.

Because the holiday falls midweek, they are going to also celebrate the preceeding weekend, April 10 and 11.

There will be all the food offerings and many other Thai vendors.

Also, prepeare for the possiblity of getting a little wet!

Tossing water is a big part of the festivities in Thailand (but it's 95º there!).

Because of the expected visitors, I was told that they will be running a shuttle from the Kaiser lot, corner of Cantara and Woodman.

What days are you guys going? I'm surprised we didn't do some egullet thing for this. I guess everyone's busy, including me.

I think there were too many converging events this year - Easter, Passover, tax day...

I'm probably going on Sunday for an hour or two, if anyone would like to meet there.

There's a pack of "chowhounds" planning to "stake out" an area at the Wat Thai "water festival".
