BANGKOK, March 25 (TNA) – Business operators on Khao San Road sought government permission for water fights during the Songkran festival.

 

Sanga Ruangwattanakul, president of the Khao San Business Association, sent a letter to Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to seek a green light for water fights on Khao San Road during the Songkran festival from April 12 to 15 because the road had been a famous venue for Songkran celebrations.

 

The association could ask local business operators to comply with COVID Free Setting measures including social distancing, health screening and requirement for full vaccination among participants and there would not be talcum powder smearing, high-pressure water guns or foam parties, he said.

green light for water fights

Just when we thought it was safe to go out. 

 

If they allow waterfights in Kao san than waterfights should e allowed all over the country.. Why an exception for 1 street in Bangkok if there already almost no tourists coming?

As VP Harris has said we must go to the root of the problem. So it started it the Temples, so that seems like a good place to throw water at least this year. Who knows if it catches on they can do this every year.

Idiot.

It’s amazing how such a thing as splashing water on someone could be made such a priority.  

Green Light Sought for Water Fights

A water pistol would be better. ????
