webfact Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 CAAT asks Thais not to set off lanterns near airports Thai caption: Banned near the airport The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand has asked for the cooperation of Thais not to set off lanterns, hot air balloons and fireworks near Thai airports. The request comes ahead of the Loy Krathong festival that will be celebrated in Thailand next Monday. Wing Commander Sutheerawat Suwannawat accepted that the lanterns were an important part of the culture of the country but they could pose a threat to aircraft and aviation. He said that anyone who wants to set off lanterns needs to inform the authorities to get permission seven days in advance.

J Town Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I recall one year spending Loy Krathong on Jomtien beach where the fires were supposed to head out over the ocean, but the wind shifted and the little buggers headed over homes and businesses. Not sure if any burned down any buildings, but what a sight to behold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loy Krahtong is in less than 5 days then practically the permission is impossible to obtain TIT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
