Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has initiated a safety centre to enhance security measures for the upcoming New Year festivities, strongly urging the public to adhere to the established safety protocols throughout the celebration period.

 

This move was announced by Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt this Tuesday, who shed light on the specifics of a safety regulation that has been issued in anticipation of the New Year’s celebration.


Chadchart elaborated that this regulation, which draws upon the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Act 2017, has been implemented in light of the considerable amount of public mobility expected during the holiday season. This mass movement of people can inadvertently give rise to safety risks such as accidents, heightened criminal activity, and disease transmission among dense crowds.

 

Chadchart further pointed out that the regulation also encompasses safeguards against fire hazards, given that many celebration venues incorporate the use of fireworks into their event line-up. The regulation is primarily centred around four key aspects, fire protection and risk location investigation.
