This year, 2007, Songkran will be celebrated 13, 14, 15 and 16 of April in Bangkok. Pattaya celebrates the following week because of its proximity to BKK. Khorat should be the same as Bangkok, although it may not be 4 days.

Songkran is not a big event in Bangkok because a lot of residents go back to their home towns and villages to celebrate. Chatujak will be open as will nearly all shops but usually not a lot of festivity. Best place for Songkran is Chiang Mai which turns into a water fight mad house for a week. Pattaya is also fairly wet. Never anything malicious but lots of water. Do not take your mobile telephone with you or any electronics which are likely to be damaged by water.
Khorat will celebrate but never been their during Songkran so don't know what it is like.

Of course, yes!! Songkran will be celebrated everywhere, as usual. Be ready to get wet!!
Chatuchak's still game on as usual.
In Bangkok, Khao Sarn Road will be packed in a sea of people again, for sure. Last year I was there and almost melted in daytime temperature. It was a lot more fun and had just the right number of people at night: not too many, not too few.

Of course! Songkran is their New Year Day! Definitely all the Thais all over the world will celebrate this day.
So Bangkok is no exception. Korat as well. Good for you.
Been there, done them.
