No Songkran festivities on Khao San Road this year
There will be no dancing and music or any kind of festive activity during Songkran celebrations on the popular Khao San Road this year, Phra Nakhon district chief Supakrit Boonkhan said on Saturday.
He said only traditional water splashing and merit-making as well as a Buddha image procession will be allowed this year, as the country is still in the mourning period following the passing of King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
He said operators of entertainment venues have been informed of the policy.
Songkran revellers will not be allowed to use powder and water guns, and they will have to cover their body properly.
