Easter is not one of the western holidays celebrated in Thailand much. Songkran is just a few weeks away, so some odd holiday that has to do with bunnies and hiding eggs just doesn’t make a blip on the locals’ radar. It’s not like it is much of a gift getting holiday anyway. But I will have to mention it to Noom sometime, just to watch his face as he works through our tradition of coloring eggs, that’s business as usual in Thailand. I expect unsuspecting first time visitors this week assumed it was about Easter when spotting a bowl of multi-hued eggs at the local street market, but I doubt they ever spotted any Peeps. They’d melt in Bangkok’s heat and humidity. Which, come to think about it, might not be that bad of a thing.

Yeah, Happy Easter! May all the eggs you want to have come your way. 😉
It’s really not a big holiday here. Just like you wrote, everyone’s just impatiently waiting for Songkran, for one reason or another.

We probably should just be glad Thais don’t combine/confuse the two holidays like they do with Xmas and New Years. Having buckets of water thrown at you is bad enough . . .
