Police, city officials and military personnel have been deployed at Khaosan Road in Bangkok today (Thursday) to enforce the water splashing restriction, imposed by the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) to reduce the risk of mass COVID-19 infections.

 

Meanwhile, city officials have erected barriers at both ends of the road to screen visitors, starting at 1pm, to make sure that they do not bring water guns or other such items into the area. Rapid antigen test services will also be provided for those with a fever or other symptoms.

They have managed to ruin Khao San Road anyway, stuff like this will just be the final nail in the coffin.

There are names for it as they put military and police in areas to control things.... It is not welcoming tourism, it is not hospitality, it is not freedom of life.... but........

Khaosan road ruined itself by becoming a law unto itself.

As proven with water splashing... they think they can do as they like.

Just as bad in Chiang Mai.

They had soldiers sitting in a tent outside our local Thursday market.

Can't risk the locals throwing any water at each other.
