No Songkran Water Fights On Bangkok’s Khao San Road

BANGKOK, April 5 (Bernama — There will not be water fights on Bangkok’s famous Khao San Road during this year’s Songkran festival due to several restrictions, reported Thai News Agency (TNA).

President of the Khao San Business Association, Sanga Ruangwatanakul, said local business operators agreed that they would not organise a water fight on Khao San Road because of strict rules and limitations.

These include a ban on alcoholic beverage sales, required antigen tests on all visitors and an order for free face masks for visitors who have no masks or whose masks are wet.

Besides, local operators must take responsibility for a COVID-19 outbreak there.

However, during the Songkran festival next week, local shops would open as usual with more visitors expected during the period as the country reopened to foreign tourists and its atmosphere seemed more relaxed, he said.
