    songkran is the time when most thais return to their hometown from the big cities, mainly bangkok, same goes for malay and Chinese returning home for hari raya and Chinese new year respectively. songkran falls on every 13 to 15 April every year and this similar celebration is observed in laos as pi mai lao or the lao new year and yunnan's xishungbanna region by the ethnic dai minority.
    recently, I went to phatthalung for my holiday at the thale noi lake famous for its pink water lilies. during that time, many vehicles travelled along the highway on both sides as many people returned home for the songkran. in towns like phtthalung and hat yai, booths were set up for the songkran including those stores selling toy water guns. there was 1 road closed for the songkran's water fight festival in danok next to namewee's new 4896 hotel just a stone's throw from the bukit kayu hitam immigration checkpoint. it's just that songkran coincides with hari raya week for this year.

      Interesting info, Hamilton. You travel a lot and experience many places and cultures. Now I know that Laos and Yunnan ethnic minority also celebrate this. Thanks!

    The Songkran Festival in Bangkok is a truly spectacular event featuring water battles.
    This festival has the meaning of purifying past misfortunes and praying for future prosperity.
    The Silom city streets are filled with the sounds of people cheering and throwing water at each other, and participants use water guns and buckets to throw water at each other.
    Your video cleverly protects the equipment from water damage while vividly conveying the realism and joy festival, it gives us an experience as if we were actually there!☝️🌟🇹🇭

      I had great fun filming this festival. I got splashed and drenched. I filmed in the afternoon and there were big water fights as there were spaces to run and move around.
      By night time, the place was filled with people shoulder to shoulder. (I wasn't there). People were just moving along, following the human tide. There were no chance of any water fights. Videos filmed by others of this massive human tide easily have 100k to 200k views.
      Should I carry on with my style of production with limited views or simply film the massive crowds to get massive views?

    • @SingaporeCityWalks

      I think adults love it more than the kids. You can see from their faces and actions. Some go there to shoot at others, some go there to be shot at (especially ladies). Protecting my iPhone and Pocket 3 cameras was very tiring. Keep wiping the water off and check that they do not overheat as they are wrapped in plastic.

    Amazing capture 👌👌. The water jet from the lorry seems forceful. Hope you and your camera gears all okay ❤

      Now I know how the roadside plants and shrubs feel when they are being watered. My Pocket 3 was wrapped in plastic cellophane and overheated after a while. I continued to film with my iPhone 14 with plastic pouch protection. Images were affected by water marks so I removed and filmed without the plastic protection. I used the Pocket 3 again when it cooled. The water cannon scenes were filmed with Pocket 3. My iPhone would be water-damaged if I used it without plastic covering. The water jets were forceful.

    What an amazing spectacle! I hope you managed to protect your Pocket 3 camera from the water, as I know it's not weather-resistant.

    • @SingaporeCityWalks
      @SingaporeCityWalks  Před 2 měsíci

      I wrapped my Pocket 3 with cellophane type of plastic bag. It did not get wet, but it overheated because the heat could not dissipate. I then used my iPhone 4 until Pocket 3 cooled.
      It was great filming the water festival. I am happy with my video. It's too bad that CZcams is not promoting it. Some people who filmed the festival continuously by walking from point A to point B, filming the backs of people, are getting 100k to 200k views. However, I am happy with my own style of video production and will not be affected by this.

      @@SingaporeCityWalks CZcams is a weird platform, and the items that get promoted are often not worthy of it. Your productions are always first-class, and I'm sure your viewers appreciate them. The number of views doesn't mean anything sometimes.
