Tourism-related businesses in Bangkok’s Khaosan area, a favourite destination for backpackers before the COVID-19 pandemic, will consult the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) and other agencies about allowing them to hold Songkran celebrations and water splashing events in the area.

 

President of the Khaosan Road Business Association, Sa-nga Ruangwattanakul, said today (Sunday) that it would be a pity if Thailand loses another chance this year to draw foreign tourists to Thailand during the long Songkran holidays to enjoy the water festivities, especially in the Khaosan area.

 

On Friday, the CCSA eased some restrictions by allowing certain celebrations, including water splashing, to be held during the Songkran festival, but with safety measures to be observed, such as participants wearing face masks all the time, the maintenance of social distancing and screening at celebration venues. Even organisers will be required to seek prior permission from provincial communicable disease committee.

A little late.. tourists are somewhat hesitant in the face of contradictory announcements and shifting regulations.
