Songkran has escalated from a fun and relatively respectful event it used to be to the aggressive, no-fun hazard is has become in many parts of the country today. Before the usual crowd retorts that if I don't like it I can leave the country and go back to my own country, may I point out I've probably been here a lot longer (a quarter century) than the vast majority of those that bring up that lame argument. It is possible for a farang to have a legitimate appreciation for what this country's culture has to offer and at the same time to object to how one of it's traditions seems to have gone seriously off the rails. This gives no excuse for a bunch of tourists to tell them to leave. Besides, there are a lot of Thais who don't exactly enjoy being assaulted - you want to tell them to leave too?

The foreign owner is reportedly "Big" Chong Hung. He has heavy connections in both Hong Kong and the Sino-Thai community. He cannot be touched.

farang is probably from an foreign mafia if he's still around.. hopefully he teaches some thai rats how real mafias work when this goes sour.

Just been to the British Consul in Chiang Mai and saw an official notice in the window of a British Citizen wishing to marry a Filipino in Thailand. Not sure if this is a legal requirement for a British citizen marrying a fellow alien in Thailand
