Khao San Road still a popular Songkran destination

 

   

BANGKOK, 15 April 2019 (NNT) -Water splashing activities for Songkran holidays at Khao San Road in Bangkok are still popular with tourists, despite no stages being set up like there were in previous years, with the police urging all to wear appropriate clothes and play water games with moderation.

 

As the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration is required to prepare the road for the royal coronation ceremonies in May, staged events for Songkran holidays on Khao San Road have to be cancelled this year. However, the number of tourists coming to play has not decreased, with most saying they came here as officials are on site to provide assistance, and people play water politely.

 

For safety, the police have set up five screening points on Khao San Road and surrounding areas, deploying 900 staff to maintain order in the area while encouraging people to be mindful of their valuables. Guns, high-pressure water guns, nudity, talcum powder, and the sale of alcohol are not allowed in the venue.

 

Officials have asked the visitors for cooperation to play with water only within designated areas, to be careful on the road, to wear appropriate clothes, and be aware of their own safety and that of others. The police also recommend event goers to be careful of their valuables during the evening where the area gets more crowded.

Yes lots of police presence around Khaosan Road with manned security entrances and bag checks directly outside the police station.. And a wide opened exit with people coming and going without anyone checking.. A real joke.. If you're going to have security, what about having the exits manned as well.. 

Security Thai style at its best.. 

How come there are no elephant pants in the photo ?
