Bangkok police have imposed a 10pm deadline for Songkran celebrations on Khao San Road to end tonight (Friday), instead of midnight.

 

Pol Gen Torsak Sukvimol, the deputy national police chief, said today that Khao San Road was crowded beyond its capacity last night.

 

Chana Songkhram police, who are responsible for the area, blocked the entrance to the scene of the celebrations from Ratchadamnoen Avenue last night shortly before 9pm, after they realised that the area was already overcrowded.

Maybe they should reconsider the policy of limited areas for people to celebrate?
