Students from Pattaya School No. 8 perform traditional Thai dance during the press conference announcing this year’s Songkran Festival.

PATTAYA:--For Songkran’s April 19 finale, Beach Road will be closed from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. with water trucks available in front of Amari Orchid Resort & Tower, Soi 4-5, the Tropicana Hotel, Central Road intersection, the Hard Rock Hotel, Soi 9, Soi 12, Soi 13/1 and finally, Soi Pattayaland 1.

The main attraction will be at the Beach and Central roads intersection around the fountain where tourists can enjoy the beauty and capture images for memories.

At an April 4 press conference announcing the final “Wan Lai” plans, however, most officials took pains to point out that Pattaya’s week-long water fight has perverted the tradition of Songkran.

“There are many (other) activities on Songkran, including making merit, offering alms, releasing animals into the wild, pouring water on Lord Buddha, and paying respects to elders,” City Councilman Rattanachai Sutidechanai said. “All these traditions represent Thailand. Therefore, we must maintain our manners and civility by playing within the norms of decency, showing foreigners the correct method to enjoy Songkran that has been passed on for generations.” - See more at: http://www.pattayamail.com/localnews/beach-road-to-be-closed-from-8-a-m-to-8-p-m-april-19-36634#sthash.oWuiEoQq.dpuf
