As you are from Germany, you must know the many German wetlook fans that come to Chiang Mai, and I meet them every year. Normally I find them at the Thapae Gate area, cos they often stay at the Montri Hotel at Thapae Gate. This is where I normally find German wetlook fans ...Ulli, Christian, Carl Soak and Felix. If you see a bunch of guys in the Montril Hotel coffee shop browsing their notebook pc and looking at the pics they took....that will be the German wetlook fans.

As for hotel pool parties during Songkran.....I have been going to Chiang Mai for 20 years and have never found any hotel pool parties during my trips there. We searched many times but never find any....cos most of the action takes place on the streets and canals and the raves up at the Central Shopping Mall area....and the hotels are generally deserted and quiet. The only time we had a hotel pool party during Songkran was in 2004 when Leon and I organized a hotel pool party ourselves. I basically rented the hotel pool for the evening and printed up flyers and Leon and his girls handed them out to people all day long in the streets....and despite handing out hundreds of flyers....only a handful of people showed up...so that idea did not work very well.

The hotels in Chiang Mai and their pool areas basically shut down as soon as it gets dark......i.e. people stop celebrating Songkran after 7pm at night....so the evenings in Chiang Mai are mostly a quiet time when you go shopping and have a meal....and not much else happens.

So....I have never found much going on in the evenings in Chiang Mai....all the wetlook action takes place during daylight hours only.

But Pattaya is different, cos in Pattaya you do have Songkran pool parties at some hotels....e.g. the Hard Rock Cafe hotel in Pattaya has a nice foam machine and pool party night.

Anyway, if you are already in Chiang Mai.....then ask around and see if any of the hotels are organizing anything.....but we tried to find this in past years and could never find any pool parties in Chiang Mai.
