The water festival is called "Thingyan" in Burma.....but I would not advise going there, cos is still a very dangerous place for foreigners to visit. e.g. in the past whenever there were political demonstrations in the 1990's, the government cracked down usng tactics not seen since the middle ages of Vlad Tepec of Romania (whom Dracula was based upon)...i.e. they would cut people's heads off and put their heads on pikes or metal railings.
Besides....just look at all the "Thingyan" clips on Youtube and you will not find any nice clothing wetlook scenes....just lots of t shirts and shorts people. You will find much nicer wetlook scenes in Thailand...which is a much tourist friendly country than Myanmar is.

By Occasional Lurker - Thu 11/04/13 14:38:14 GMT I read recently that Burma (Myanmar) has opened up to tourism the last few years, and that they also have Songkran style festivals this time of year. Would like to go there someday, too. |

By MK - wamtec@comcast.net Tue 09/04/13 16:33:03 GMT I am not going to Songkran this year, cos I have to supervise some contractors who are currently working on my house......but I will be going next year.
FYI...I normally meet my Aussie buddy Darryl at Songkran.....he comes from Brisbane and we meet up together in Thailand and hang out together.....having a few beers and filming wet girls....it's a fun time.
If you plan on going next year, then make a note of my email address and contact me next year and I will let you know where Darryl and I are staying and you would be welcome to hang with us.
FYI...we normally like to do a "double Songkran".....i.e. hit 2 Songkran festivals one after the other. What I mean is...Nearly all cities in Thailand have their Songkran events at the same time (April 12th to 15th)....so you can't be in 2 places at once....but Pattaya is the exception, cos their Songkran festival is always held 5 days later than the rest of the country. So....we like to go to Chiang Mai first (the best one)....for their April 12th to 15trh events, and then after that we travel to Pattaya for their April 17th to 20th events......so then you can film 2 festivals on the same trip.

By Andrew - Mon 08/04/13 04:09:24 GMT Hi guys,
Are any fans travelling to Songkran this year?
I was going to go but decided to go to Vegas soon, will definitely go next year.
If any wetlook producers are going, I would love to meet you there and help out with your material and learn from you.
Regards,
Massive Aussie Wetlook Fan (Andrew)
