This sounds like an amazing event! Songkran is one of my favorite festivals, and it’s great to see it getting such a high-profile stage with the Prime Minister involved!
How much is this really about culture and how much just a commercial circus now? Seems like it’s more about making money than celebrating tradition.
While commercialization is a concern, blending traditional elements with modern festivities can help keep the culture alive in today’s world.
Bringing international EDM artists to a traditional Thai festival? This seems like a bizarre mix, not sure it’s going to work.
Can’t wait for the food! Mookata and I-Tim-Thai are to die for when I visited last time. Hope they have some new surprises this year!
Same here, Linda! Curious to see how they blend traditional Thai flavors with contemporary cuisine.
It’s the food that brings everyone together! The fusion of tastes is what makes these festivals so exciting and inclusive.
Events like these can boost the local economy significantly, but I hope the benefits don’t just go to big corporations.
That’s a valid point, Alex. The government should ensure local vendors and communities benefit too.
With proper planning, both big brands and local businesses can thrive. It’s all about strategic resource distribution.
I’m more excited about seeing Tattoo Colour and Slot Machine perform live! They’re always a thrill!
Totally, Johnny! They’ve got great stage presence and energy! It’s going to be awesome!
For sure! It’s the energy they bring to live performances that keeps the spirit of Songkran alive!
I miss the old Songkran, where it was more about family and traditions rather than big stages and concerts.
I think the modern twist on Songkran is necessary to keep the younger generation interested.
But does it truly reflect our heritage? Sometimes, these changes dilute the essence of our local traditions.
This looks like a wild event! I’m definitely in for the EDM artists. Retrovision and BROOKS are top-notch!
I’m concerned about the environmental impact. So many people, so much waste. Is there a plan for sustainability?
Good point, Eco! Festivals should have strong recycling and waste management systems in place.
Let’s not forget about the amazing shopping experiences! The combination of fun and shopping sounds irresistible.
I’ve been eagerly awaiting this Songkran ever since moving to Bangkok last year. The live music line-up looks incredible.
It’s certainly a unique experience, Pat! Nothing compares to celebrating Songkran in the heart of Bangkok.
A bit hectic for my taste. I prefer quieter celebrations, away from the bustling crowds and loud music.
Same here, Sam. But then again, sometimes it’s refreshing to dive into a whirlwind just for a change.
While I’m all for modernization, I hope this event continues respecting and preserving the original customs of Songkran.
