Songkran, the Thai new year, is about to hit the whole of Thailand in a weeks time. Phuket is gearing up for the event as usual. Once again Phuket Big Bike Week is at the same time as Songkran. This year is the 20th anniversary of Big Bike Week, Phuket. The 2013 Songkran festival was one without any road fatalities in Phuket, except a few accidents. That was a feat in itself. Of course the Thai police are hoping for the same this year.
Within the Big Bike Week there will be loads of parties, memorabilia to buy at auction, merchandise stores set up and big bikes on sale of course. Not forgetting the Miss Phuket Bike Week Contest that's been a highlight year on in.
If you're headed to Phuket, beware that the bike week itself is expecting crowds of up to 50000 people in Patong alone. Not to mention the nightmare that the Phuket Airport will be facing as it is the end of high season so many are leaving and as many are entering. So book your Phuket hotels well in advance and plan your journey for all there is to experience during Songkran.
