Greater Bangkok’s temperatures are expected to reach 39?C daily, with Pathum Thani being the hottest province, at least until Saturday (16 Apr).

 

According to the latest data from the department, Lampang, Sukhothai, and Uthai Thani were the hottest places on Tuesday (12 Apr), with temperatures reaching 40?C.

 

Despite the rising heat and the desire to cool off with water while out celebrating the Songkran festival, revelers have been informed that water splashing, power smearing, and foam parties will be prohibited throughout the holidays in order to prevent the spread of Covid-19 in the country.
