But this April… something else was blooming inside me.四月的雨会带来五月的花，但今年四月，在我内心开花的，是更不可思议的东西。�第一段：Pai 遇见 Edu（Meeting Edu in Pai）In early April, I left Chiang Mai and headed to the dreamy mountain town of Pai.四月初，我离开清迈，前往梦幻山城拜县。On my second day there, I met Edu—a Muay Thai trainee from the Canary Islands of Spain.抵达的第二天，我认识了 Edu，一位来自西班牙加那利群岛的泰拳训练者。To my surprise, we clicked immediately. We had so much in common!令我惊讶的是，我们一见如故，发现彼此竟有好多共通点！We both had traveled to only one South American country—Peru.我们都只去过一个南美国家，就是秘鲁。And guess what? We both tried Ayahuasca there.你猜怎样？我们都在那里体验过死藤水。Even crazier, we were both heading back to Chiang Mai on the same Friday—me for a Thai dance performance, and him for a Muay Thai fight.更巧的是，我们同一天周五都要回清迈，我要去跳泰舞，他则要参加拳击赛。�第二段：泰舞、拳击与新年狂欢（Performances & Songkran）That week was magical. He came to see my Thai dance performance, and I went to cheer for his Muay Thai match.那几天真像一场梦。他来看我跳泰舞，我也去为他的比赛加油。There was definitely a spark between us, but we had different future plans.我们之间确实有些火花，但我们的未来规划不同。We talked openly and maturely, and agreed to stay friends.我们很成熟地谈开，决定做朋友就好。Then came Songkran—Thailand's water festival.接着就是泰国新年泼水节！We ran around like kids with water guns, ice buckets, and laughter.我们像小孩一样奔跑、拿着水枪和冰桶，疯狂大笑。Those moments reminded me of how beautiful it is to play.那些时刻让我想起：“玩”其实是一种祝福。�第三段：遇见 Evert 与魔幻体验（Meeting Evert & the Mushroom Trip）After all the fun, I returned to Pai a little sick and tired.狂欢过后，我带着一点感冒回到了拜县。There, my another new friend, Evert, who I had met in Chiang Mai during Songkran. He was planning a trip to Pai too.在那里，我一位我在泰国新年在清迈认识的新朋友 Evert，他也正打算来 Pai 度假。The second time we met… he showed up at my room—with magic mushrooms.第二次见面，他竟然带着蘑菇来我房间。It was my first time trying mushrooms.那是我第一次尝试蘑菇。I saw beauty so intense, it brought tears to my eyes.我看到的美景让我感动到落泪。I also went deep into self-reflection.我也进入了很深层的内在反思。�第四段：内在觉醒与持续探索（Inner Awakening）After that first time, I actually tried mushrooms two more times.那次之后，我又尝试了两次蘑菇。One time, I was completely alone.有一次，是我独自在房间里进行的。The other time, I was with a healer I met at a hot spring in Pai.另一次，是和一位在 Pai 的温泉遇见的疗愈师一起，那次非常特别。She created a safe, sacred space for us, and I saw so much more.她为我们营造了一个安全而神圣的空间，而我看见的东西更多了。Not just with my eyes—but with my heart.不只是用眼睛，而是用心。Each experience brought new clarity, healing, and wonder.每一次的体验，都带来新的清明、疗愈与惊奇。� 结语（Reflection & Call to Action）This April reminded me:The most magical journeys don't always happen across countries—they happen inside.这个四月提醒了我，最神奇的旅程不一定跨越国界，而是发生在我们内心深处。What did April awaken in you?你的四月，又唤醒了你什么呢？Thanks for joining me on this journey.感谢你与我同行。Don't forget to subscribe, share your thoughts, and join Fly with Lily to grow with us.别忘了订阅、留言，还有加入我5月20日即将开展的七日晨光觉醒旅程Seven Days of Morning Awakening，赶快到 flywiithlily.com 下载我们的离开舒适圈中英语挑战手册，如果已经注册过邮箱的朋友很快的你在邮箱里就会接受到邀请！和Lily一起进行华丽变身、成长、冒险！

A talk by Thanissaro Bhikkhu entitled "Songkran"

VOV1 - Cơ quan chức năng Thái Lan hôm 17/4 cho biết số vụ tai nạn giao thông đã tăng mạnh trong dịp lễ hội Songkran, khiến 200 người thiệt mạng và gần 1400 người bị thương.

Songkran is a festival from Southeast Asia marking the new year and celebrating making a fresh start. This special program includes a program discussion hosted by Michelle Meow featuring conversations on cultural heritage, community impact, and empowerment initiatives; cultural performances, including traditional dances, live music, and storytelling sessions; a traditional water blessing ceremony; and delicious authentic Southeast Asian cuisine prepared by local chefs. About the Speakers Kesinee Angkustsiri Yip has been helping companies, organizations, and executives manage their reputations for more than two decades. An award-winning communications strategist recognized by the International Association of Business Communications, she co- founded Creative Catalyst (www.creativecatalystworks.com) to address culture and connection challenges—the things AI does not—by bringing improv into the workplace. While improv can be funny, it's not just for the theater. Improv techniques can help entrepreneurs and leaders as well as customer-facing, sales, HR, and DEI teams reduce anxiety, cultivate safe spaces, and encourage creativity. Her book, “Yes, and...” for Success: Improv Secrets to Supercharge Professional Creativity and Connection is out on Amazon and available at Bay Area bookstores. Kesinee has performed at BATS Improv and has led workshops and trainings in the United States and abroad. Kesinee is on the Board of the Asian Women's Shelter in San Francisco (www.sfaws.org) and is active with the LEAD-LISA Startup Incubator (www.gsb-lead-lisa.com). She earned a BA from Stanford University and an MBA in Marketing and Strategic Planning from Rice University. Maly Phommavong is based in Sacramento and has been in the interpreting field since 2015. In 1987, she arrived in the United States at age 13 as a child of refugees with a family of 12. She graduated with a Master's Degree in Criminology from CSU of Fresno in 2000, and worked as a deputy probation officer for Contra Costa County in 2002. She retired early from the Probation Department in 2015, and began working as a registered court interpreter for the California Judicial Court. Maly has been involved in grass-roots advocacy and volunteered in nonprofit organizations for decades. In 2015, She began her online presence through conducting live community discussions covering various issues affecting the community in the Lao language catering to non-English speaking members. Her videos have reached the Laotian audience worldwide. Kenya Prach is a survivor of the Khmer Rouge genocide who escaped to Thailand refugee camps before finding a second chance in the United States. Arriving with no knowledge of English and few opportunities, Kenya faced immense challenges, from being unable to attend high school or community college to being turned away from work. However, a kind gesture from an African American homeless man helped guide him toward education and a new life. A Cambodian-born martial artist, Kenya is known for his expertise in Kbach-Kun-Boran-Khmer (Bokator) and Muay Thai kickboxing. Despite enduring the horrors of the Khmer Rouge regime, he pursued martial arts in Thailand and later excelled in boxing in the United States. With a deep understanding of hardship and compassion, Kenya has dedicated his life to helping others, particularly in the fight against human trafficking and advocating for human rights. He believes that true wealth lies not in material possessions but in kindness, care and love. Through his work and his book Black Stone Hands, Kenya seeks to give a voice to the voiceless and inspire others to make a difference by uplifting those in need.

Welcome to "All About Thailand," the podcast that dives into the vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and unique traditions of this incredible country! In today's episode, we're turning our focus to the exhilarating Songkran Water Festival in Pattaya. Join us as we explore the bustling hotels, indulge in the mouthwatering local cuisine, and revel in the spirit of celebration that makes Songkran so unforgettable. Whether you're planning a visit or just curious about this iconic festival, we invite you to listen in and discover everything you need to know about experiencing Songkran in Pattaya. Let's dive in!

With the big holiday nearly here, Greg and Ed reminisce about their various Songkran experiences over the years. Ed notes that last year was a breakthrough year: he actually went out and ‘threw water' for the first time in many years and had a blast. Greg points out that it's pretty common for expats to love Songkran at first, but then quickly switch to avoiding the raucous celebrations for many years. Greg has found special Songkran celebrations specifically designed to be kid-friendly, which has allowed him to keep in touch with the experience without a lot of the craziness.  Ed recounts his very first Songkran experience in Chiang Mai, a pivotal moment in his early years in Thailand as it was an amazingly good time that included three full days of brutal water wars. Ever since then he has been ‘chasing the dragon' of that first experience. Greg then uses AI to do some insightful comparisons between Songkran of 2005 and Songkran of 2025. The AI does a fairly good job of noting the transition of the holiday from being primarily local to being now well-known around the world, and one in which the prior emphasis was on traditional family ritual while today the experience is much more professionalized and commercial. Also check out the photo of a very young Greg at his first Songkran, with his friend Amanda. Oh to be young and wrinkle-free again! Regardles of how it has changed, Songkran remains a defining Thai experience not to be missed by tourists and expats. Just bring a good attitude and prepare to get soaked! Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks. We also sometimes post on Facebook, you can contact us on LINE and of course, head to our website (www.bangkokpodcast.com) to find out probably more info than you need to know.

“Whatever happened to ‘Quality Tourism'?” As we complete one-third of 2024, what were the top 8 travel talking points in April? Gary and Hannah journey across the region, with stops in Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, China and Dubai. We analyse the increase in Chinese arrivals to ASEAN & Asia Pacific in Q1, and preview the May Labour Day holiday. We review travel volumes during the Songkran, Eid/Lebaran and Khmer New Year travel periods. Plus, a Thai tourism leader calls for a new visitor levy to battle over-tourism in primary destinations, while Malaysian budget hoteliers raise their rates. We assess the regional aviation impact of Dubai's catastrophic flooding and the eruption of Mt Ruang in Indonesia. Plus, Bali raises a Dengue Fever alert and Singapore hits 95% of its pre-pandemic monthly arrivals in March - partly thanks to a certain tortured pop poet.

Songkran is a traditional festival celebrated in Thailand that marks the start of the Thai New Year. It is also known as the Water Festival, as it involves splashing water on one another as a symbolic gesture of cleansing and washing away the sins and bad luck of the previous year. However, it has since evolved into something much more than a religious observance. It has become the world's biggest water fight.  Learn more about Songkran, the Thai New Year's celebration, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Thai Meteorological Department warned residents to be prepared for thunderstorms, strong winds, and hail. Meanwhile, the Nakhon Ratchasima Zoo announced their success in breeding the rare red-headed vulture, also known as the Asian king vulture. This marks the first successful breeding of the species in Thailand in 30 years and only the second instance worldwide. As Thailand prepares for its most cherished festival, Songkran, a time of renewal and unbridled merriment, the temperature continues to rise. From April 13th to 15th, the festival will showcase Thailand's rich culture and heritage while bringing people together in a spirit of unity and goodwill. Unfortunately, the extreme heat has also caused tragedy. A deceased man was found outside a coffin shop in Kanchanaburi, believed to have died from the scorching heat. On a different note, a brawl broke out between two groups of Koh Larn speed boat operators at Bali Hai Pier in Pattaya over passengers, with one operator claiming he was attacked by over 10 members of a mafia speed boat gang. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thaigerpodcast/message

And you won't believe what the giant furball, found by Canadian gold miners, turned out to be – hint: it's super nutty!

Greg and Ed take up the somewhat grim topic of motorbike accidents in Thailand. As this episode is essentially the Songkran episode for this year, the timing could not be more appropriate because more people die in road accidents during the ‘7 dangerous days' around the holiday than during any other time of the year. Ed takes the lead and tries to break down the situation. First, Thai roads in general are just more dangerous than almost anywhere in the world, most likely due to lax enforcement of driving laws. So even if you are not on a motorbike, be very aware anytime you are near or crossing roads. Second, riding on the back of motorbikes is extremely common throughout the country, but especially in Bangkok and on tourist islands. But commonsense reveals that on a motorbike, you are considerably less protected than when in a proper automobile. Next, many foreigners choose to rent motorbikes and drive them themselves. This creates additional risk, unless you are someone very familiar with operating motorbikes or motorcycles. To make matters even worse, for many different reasons, health insurance often does not cover injuries that are a result of motorbike accidents. Possible reasons include blanket exceptions, not wearing a helmet, or not being properly licensed. The result can turn a dream holiday into a literal health and financial nightmare for tourists and expats (as well as their families). Read this story that Greg's friend Karla wrote for CNN about her motorbike-from-hell story when she first visited Thailand. The Bangkok Podcast implores listeners to tell all their friends visiting Thailand to either avoid motorbikes entirely or to guarantee they have proper health insurance coverage.  Have fun this holiday but always be safe. :)  Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks.
