Every province in the country is allowed to hold a fireworks display to mark His Majesty the King's 85th birthday Wednesday, Interior Ministry permanent-secretary Wibool Sanguanphong announced Tuesday.
He went on to explain that reports about fireworks being restricted were a misunderstanding.
Wibool said that the committee tasked with organising celebrations to mark His Majesty’s birthday had decided to keep fireworks displays at Sanam Luang restricted on grounds of safety, but the Prime Minister’s Office had chose to overlook the decision provided people exercise caution.
He said that he had ordered officials to be careful and observe safety measures while setting off fireworks, especially if the displays were positioned on the premises of state offices.
