As much as Songkran is about wet water fights, it’s also about family.

And today it’s getting very crowded at places like the Mo Chit bus terminal as many Bangkok residents cram onto buses, vans and trains to get back to their loved ones.

There are no more seats – all buses have been booked, and there might be a delay in the schedules due to the heavy traffic, reveals Rapeepan Wanpintu, a spokeswoman with the Bangkok Mass Transit Authority.

She added that Motorists should avoid the routes around the terminal such as Kamphaeng Phet 2 and Kamphaeng Phet 6 roads, MThai reported.
