Incorrect, see earlier posts on this.

BTW, Songkran is the celebration of the Thai new year.

Which is the busiest day out of the festival? Is it the first day (Friday the 13th!) or any of the others? I'm planning on booking accommodation till the 15th, but will I be able to find somewhere to stay or even extend for the 16th, 17th while I'm out there? (I'm going to be in Chaing Mai)
