Songkran Pattaya Soi 7 Thailand HAS STARTED! (INSANE)

The Sun Crown festival has officially begun on Soi 7, two days earlier than its official start date on the 13th. Participants are prepared with ice buckets filled with water, and the atmosphere is lively with everyone ready to party. The first day of the festival sees participants, including the narrator's "army," getting soaked as they navigate the streets. The narrator attempts to walk down the street, noting the hot stone underfoot and the constant barrage of water. Despite having no shoes on and getting completely drenched, they continue to document the event. They mention a large foam party happening further down the street. The narrator describes being "wounded" and "blinded" by water, expressing concern for their camera's waterproof capabilities and hoping to avoid an eye infection. After reaching near the bottom of the street, the narrator decides to head back to their bar, acknowledging the intensity of the water fights, especially from the kids. They express relief at having brought a spare t-shirt. Back at the bar, they check on their supplies and the ongoing festivities. The narrator then switches from being on the defensive to the offensive, grabbing a bucket and a "gun" (presumably a water gun) to join the water fight. However, the overwhelming nature of the water attacks quickly leads them to retreat back into the bar. They discuss plans to throw water bombs from the balcony later. The festival is expected to last a whole week, with the narrator noting that they have "another 11 days to go," implying the festivities extend beyond a single week. As the sun sets, the area becomes calmer. The narrator plans to explore Beach Road and other locations the following day to continue documenting the event.
