No PM's order to restrict Songkran fun: Sansern
Play
Government Spokesman Maj Gen Sansern Kaewkamnerd Sunday put a rumour to rest that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha allows water throwing during the three-day long Songkran festival only for one day on Aril 13.
Sansern dismissed the report, saying the PM had made it clear that Songkran is a Thai way of life and it is impossible to ban water throwing during the festival.
“If the PM is going to issue any instruction, he is not going to talk to one person but the Cabinet,’’ Sansern said.
Prayut however has urged Thais to be aware of the water crisis and celebrate Songkran with conscience and responsibility, the spokesman said.
He said that police and concerned agencies would take action against websites that reported distorted the information.
