Water fights and alcohol will be banned at Songkran events held in Hua Hin and throughout Prachuap Khiri Khan in a bid to prevent further spread of COVID-19.

 

Those attending Songkran events must also be fully vaccinated or pass an ATK test within 72 hours of attending the event, Prachuap Khiri Khan deputy governor Prompiriya Kitnuson has announced.

 

Organisers of Songkran events must seek prior approval from the provincial communicable diseases committee and are also required to follow the COVID Free Setting measures as outlined by the Ministry of Public Health. 

 

Such events can include live music, concerts and traditional activities within the local community at restaurants or at religious sites.

Hua Hin bans fun

What a joke. What it should say is that alcohol will be banned at Government organised events.

The B.I.B will be out collecting tea money and all will be as normal especially around the new bintabaht, soi 94.

Here I stand with my knee length socks stuffed into my sandals and salute to the government officials for preventing such implorable and dastardly water-fights,  immoral flashing of water soaked tops and deplorable excessive consumption of alcohol. 

Yes, only designated event venues that basically will become  an ... ahhh ... non-event. 

Let's make this a permanent ban so my day isn't ruined from disgraceful water splashing ... tongue planted firmly in cheek.

My wife went back at the start of this month.

 

This madness is the reason I didn't accompany her.
