What are some tips for tourists wanting to participate in the Songkran Festival celebrations in Pattaya?

Tourists should dress appropriately in light, waterproof clothing and consider wearing shoes that can handle getting wet, as the water fights can be quite enthusiastic. - It's also a great idea to keep valuables safe and dry, perhaps in a waterproof bag, as you’ll likely get soaked during the festivities. - Using an AI Assistant can provide real-time information on local events and tips for enjoying the festival while staying respectful of Thai customs. Event note: Dates, venues, ticketing, road closures and security arrangements are time-sensitive. Use the organiser, Pattaya City or Tourism Authority information close to the event.
