Songkran 2026 around Bangkok: where to make merit then get soaked
Komsan Jandamit, Published on 09/04/2026
» Songkran in 2026 is best tackled like Bangkok traffic: pick your lane early, commit, and keep a dry change of clothes within reach. The Thai New Year’s water fights still dominate the headlines, but this year’s smartest day trips mix temple-time calm with big-city spectacle, from Rattanakosin’s most photogenic blessings to Samut Prakan’s late-April Mon traditions — plus a flagship “Maha Songkran” festival that is setting up shop at Benchakitti Park.
A new spin to the world of Pokémon

» I am not sure if there is anyone in this world who does not know what Pokémon is. In case you're one of them, Pokémon is a game about you, the main protagonist, catching monsters and making friends with them while also using them to fight and traverse the game world to become the strongest trainer. Typically, games will have you defeat six to eight gym leaders, who act as bosses of each town, before beating the last boss to prove your supremacy. But this time, in 2022, there are no gyms, because this latest game is a prequel to all others and no gyms have been established, and the game's townspeople still have very little knowledge about these mysterious monsters.
'Back to the future' phone

» I was born in the late 70s and during my teenage years, Nokia flip-phones were a thing. I owned a few and my friends had them too. They were cool and trendy and you could slam the phone shut to end calls, which was satisfying (especially when you had an argument with someone). However, along came the iPhone in 2007 and ended the flip-phone trend. In 2021, the flip-phone trend is in again with new foldable screen tech and the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G.

» I'm very old school when it comes to televisions, using them until they die, which mine did recently. Since then, I used my computer monitor for TV watching purposes. This works fine and dandy but the smaller monitor produces less vibrant colours and has few ports. As a stingy person, I was looking for a nice budget TV. This Coocaa TV seemed to be a perfect match.
