Songkran in Lampang in the 1960s. It was NOT an exclusively religious, gentle, respectful affair back then, as many people will try to tell you. It was a big, bad party, also in the old days!!

de gode gamle dage var vilde og fuld af sjov
The wild old days
As people prepare to celebrate Songkran, this year's festival sees a number of stricter road safety rules and regulations -- from the Section 44 edict requiring all car passengers buckle up to the ban of water-throwing from the back of pickups along major roads and highways. But the spirit of Songkran has always been high -- and wild. Here we take a look at photos from from the Bangkok Post's archives to see how Songkran revellers enjoyed the water war in the past with or without harsh traffic rules enforced.
