Pattaya Police impose Fireworks Ban for Loy Krathong.

This year, the Loy Krathong Festival will take place here in Pattaya on Saturday 24th November and this year, Pattaya Police Lieutenant Colonel Sirichai has issued a notice to the Pattaya Media to inform people that the use of fireworks is not permitted unless they are used at organized displays.

He also explained that some types of firework are particularly dangerous, especially the hand-held fireworks which, last year, led to some sustaining serious burns to their hands and faces. Last year, the same regulations were in place and local Police actively confiscated fireworks from people on Pattaya Beach and around the Pattaya area and this year confiscations will also take place with the threat of fines issued to those in possession of such items.
