[00:00:36]But I'm actually calling a cab to Pattaya, where the main action's going to be. So, let's go.

[00:00:48]>> [music] [music] >> So, I managed to find a Bolt, even though there's a lot of traffic today.

[00:01:04]What's funny, they have this advertisement for a shooting range.

[00:02:28]All right.

[00:02:29]These are going to be my last moments of being dry. There's a no way I'm going to survive much longer, so I should kind of just uh be okay [music] with it, I think.

[00:04:09]We will have fun.

[00:04:12]Secondhand, I see a woman with a bucket.

[00:04:16]I'm going to try to avoid that, cuz once you get hit by one of those, you're you're done for the day.

[00:04:22]Look at these guys in the pickup truck.

[00:04:26]I couldn't reach. I guess Guys, we're not quite ready to go to those bars, I think.

[00:05:27]No, no, no, no, no.

[00:05:32]Oh.

[00:05:34]Still no bucket yet. Let's see how long I can go without a bucket. By the way, the reason why I see so many of these colorful Hawaiian shirts, for some reason, this is the staple of uh Songkran. That's like the clothes they wear.

[00:05:51]I'm going to give you guys a little tips. Never drive during Songkran, it's dangerous. Not just drunk drivers, but just wetness, craziness.

[00:05:59]Ooh.

[00:06:02]>> [laughter] >> Sawasdee bee mai.

[00:06:05]Oh my god, that's the big one.

[00:06:10]Oh no, the buckets.

[00:06:25]Yeah, it's been dangerous to drive uh especially a bike during this time.

[00:06:29]So, I would avoid it if I can.

[00:06:39]Sawasdee bee mai krap.

[00:06:41]No, no, no, no, NO.

[00:06:49]>> [screaming] >> NO, MAN.

[00:07:18]All right, well, the good news is I'm soaking wet already, which means party's on.

[00:07:23]I got my face painted.

[00:07:25]I don't got to worry about being dry anymore.

[00:07:31]Happy New Year.

[00:07:56]Oh my god, guys, I just walked around the corner.

[00:08:00]Ooh.

[00:08:03]And look how wild it is out here.

[00:08:08]I'm actually surprised.

[00:08:11]I'll say that. I mean, I knew it would be crazy, but I didn't think it'd be like this.

[00:08:17]I almost took a Songkran here. I'm glad I didn't.

[00:08:25]Oh my god.

[00:08:32]Everyone's getting messed up.

[00:08:35]Oh my god, I just got hit by some ice water.

[00:08:39]He's got to hide it. He's covering. He's smart.

[00:08:42]Oi.

[00:08:45]>> [music] >> Oh, right in the face.

[00:08:51]That guy's shooting his dad.

[00:08:57]Oh.

[00:09:00]All right, let's go to the beach side.

[00:09:03]Oh my god, these guys are wild. Look at these guys.

[00:09:08]Everyone's getting shot.

[00:09:15]You okay?

[00:09:16]Happy New Year, Sawasdee bee mai.

[00:09:21]She's crying, literally crying.

[00:09:26]Oh.

[00:09:33]These are the bars I must walk through.

[00:09:38]Look how absolutely wild this place is.

[00:09:51]Hi guys, he has an automatic gun as well.

[00:09:54]Problem with these, you can just shoot one-handed out of the puppet. It's good to pump them in, but they're not as powerful as the other ones. They don't hold as much water either. They're Woo!

[00:10:16]Coconut man!

[00:10:19]All right.

[00:10:22]I came uh pretty much just in time. The sun's about to set, so it's a beautiful time. It's not too hot out, but it's still hot enough where hopefully it will dry.

[00:10:30]The only problem with Songkran, two things. One is people continue playing with water even after dark, which technically they're not supposed to. The the rule the cut-off is sunset.

[00:10:42]Uh cuz then it's not cold anymore, but the second you have then people get drunk at night and get crazy. And suddenly they're wet throwing buckets of water while they're driving. It It could It does become dangerous. Every year hundreds of people die. And literally uh not by accident.

[00:10:58]But it is fun, so play responsibly.

[00:11:08]Other rules of Songkran is if someone's sitting down somewhere and like especially if they're eating or they're in kind of indoors, even like here, you're not really supposed to shoot them cuz they're kind of indoors.

[00:11:20]Uh if I mean if they're pointing a water gun at you from the balcony, it's a little bit different, but like in general if they're completely under armed and indoors or sitting down at a restaurant, if they have food, like don't shoot them.

[00:11:59]All right, so now we are at the Central Festival Mall. There are kids on the second floor of of Starbucks shooting down. How smart are they?

[00:12:08]You're not actually supposed to shoot people in inside places, so we're not going to go in the mall itself.

[00:12:13]But there's going to be plenty of people hanging out uh near the outside and they are all within limits.

[00:12:29]>> [music] [music] >> I can't reach them. Oh, sorry. Oh, sorry.

[00:12:57]>> [music] >> Okay, don't shoot people with the food.

[00:13:14]Don't get too drunk.

[00:13:16]But do have as much fun as you can.

[00:13:22]Cuz it's technically a safe zone here.

[00:13:33]The immediately when you come out no longer safe.

[00:13:49]Oh, it's cold.

[00:13:52]I'll fill up my my water. Oh my god, my I could Yeah, my that's my backup.

[00:14:01]I don't know if that Oh, that's another important rule. Do not shoot people in the eye, especially on purpose. It's a really [ __ ] move. And people literally get eye infections from it.

[00:14:10]That's why so many people wear these glasses. Just maybe I should put on the Everything gets blurry, so there's no there's no kind of good answer to it if that makes sense.

[00:14:23]These kids are so cute.

[00:14:26]Oi!

[00:14:34]Here's the police, I think.

[00:14:37]Technically they're uh you're allowed to shoot them. I don't want to be the first, but I think you're allowed.

[00:14:47]Oh my god, that's the bucket.

[00:14:49]Oi!

[00:14:56]The ice water's been controversial cuz you know, obviously some people hate it, but I think it's uh it's okay to do cuz it's a shock that doesn't really hurt anybody.

[00:15:07]I like these are my favorite people, the ones that put the stuff in your face.

[00:15:10]Hello, sawadee krap.

[00:15:11]Sawadee bee mai krap. Thank you.

[00:15:22]All right.

[00:15:23]Now for the hardest part. I got to find a bathroom somehow.

[00:15:27]>> [music] >> Oi!

[00:15:34]Woo!

[00:15:41]They're doing it in here.

[00:15:42]>> [cheering] >> I'm going to have to go through.

[00:15:47]Oi!

[00:15:49]Oi!

[00:15:51]>> [music] >> Toilet and shower. I definitely don't need a shower, but I'm happy I got 10 baht to use the toilet.

[00:16:07]>> [music] >> I think it's I think that I think that one's better.

[00:16:15]I think that one is better because look >> [music] >> Look look um It's not that strong. I think this is more powerful.

[00:16:23]Don't you got to pump it?

[00:16:24]>> [music] >> You got You got to pump.

[00:16:28]Pump.

[00:16:31]Oi! Nice shot.

[00:16:34]>> [music] >> Pump this.

[00:16:41]>> [music] >> All right.

[00:16:50]>> [music] >> Got to fill up my gun.

[00:16:54]No water in that thing.

[00:16:55]>> [music] [music] >> Woo!

[00:17:10]On both sides getting >> [music] >> smashed.

[00:17:27]Oi!

[00:17:33]Oh, man.

[00:17:35]Oh my god, they're going to chase my my ice water. Another thing is if you stop somewhere to fill up on water, normally you're expected to uh to buy a drink there.

[00:17:47]>> [music] >> Oh my god.

[00:17:51]I'm getting destroyed right before you and then while they're reloading you reload.

[00:17:58]Here you go, my turn.

[00:18:00]>> [music] >> Shoot while running.

[00:18:08]>> [music] >> Oh my god. Okay, yeah, that didn't work, guys.

[00:18:13]That that's not working.

[00:18:15]I need a strategy.

[00:18:17]All right.

[00:18:18]I think And uh a good idea is always to find one with cold water and then you also get cold water.

[00:18:27]It's the best ammo.

[00:18:30]I'm out.

[00:18:32]I'm out, guys.

[00:18:34]>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Crossfire.

[00:19:28]What can you do?

[00:19:32]Oi!

[00:19:34]All right.

[00:19:36]Another rule of Songkran you are on no sides. You are on no teams.

[00:19:40]>> [music] >> Don't think there's friendly fire or teammates. [music] Everyone will come and get you.

[00:19:54]Woo!

[00:20:09]>> Oh my god, I'm getting smashed every time. Oh, don't shoot people's ears.

[00:20:13]That was annoying.

[00:20:17]These people selling big blocks of ice to put into the water to make it cold.

[00:20:22]This is a waterproof pouch just for your phone, and this is the clay I think for your face.

[00:20:27]This is why everyone here is completely covered in clay.

[00:20:32]Oh my god.

[00:20:34]Too much clay.

[00:20:43]At the end of the day, there's so many different ways to play Songkran.

[00:20:47]That's what they call it, playing Songkran. Have fun.

[00:20:50]Uh it's every year around April.

[00:20:53]And it's a great time to be in Thailand.

[00:20:55]But oh, last rule.

[00:20:57]Never swallow the water that goes in your mouth.

[00:20:59]You don't know where it's coming from.

[00:21:01]>> [music] >> That's it, guys. Just have fun.

[00:21:05]Woo!

[00:21:24]Oh my god. It's wild, guys.

[00:21:36]I'm watching you now.

[00:21:38]Peace.

[00:21:39]Saudi can release this. The shirt.

[00:21:55]It's the Songkran, April.

[00:21:57]Hottest month of the year. One of the one of the hottest months of the year.

[00:22:07]Oh my god, I'm cold.

[00:22:12]All right, I think these are the people taking a break after a a long day.

[00:22:18]The sun's about to set, so.

[00:22:20]That's it, guys. Happy Songkran.

[00:22:23]I hope you guys enjoyed it.

[00:22:26]If I was smart, I would just go straight home, but I'm going to start drinking now.

[00:22:29]>> [laughter] >> I'm going to regret it later, but there's so much traffic right now that it would take forever to get back anyways.
