Key Quotes

Local resident
"It's very hot during the day, I don't want to go out. When I learned they were playing Songkran at night, I invited friends to come. I admit it was very fun."
กลางวันร้อนมากไม่อยากจะออกไปไหน พอรู้ว่าที่นี่เล่นสงกรานต์ตอนกลางคืน จึงชวนกันมาเล่นสงกรานต์กัน ยอมรับสนุกมาก
Sunee Deesawad
"But this year is strange, no villagers came out to play Songkran during the day. Believe it's due to the extremely hot weather making it impossible to splash water as usual, so we organized nighttime Songkran."
แต่ปีนี้แปลกตรงที่ไม่มีชาวบ้านออกมาเล่นสงกรานต์ตอนกลางวัน เชื่อว่าเกิดจากสภาพอากาศที่ร้อนจัดจนไม่สามารถสาดน้ำเล่นกันได้เหมือนปกติ จึงจัดให้มีการเล่นสงกรานต์ตอนกลางคืน
