Fireworks

[tinytot]

Anyone have any info on where to buy fireworks for the coming new year pattaya bangkok issan area i will be in these areas for few weeks

As far as i know, surprising enough, fireworks have been illegal here for a few years now.

I say surprising enough because of all the firework displays that there are here! But, again as far as I'm aware, the firework displays have to be controlled by licenced operators.

That said, there are still some shops that sell on the QT and there are enough people selling on the streets before big holidays. Just be careful as to the standards that you will be buying.

It can be enough to ruin both your and any close spectator's lives................................

Certain events...You are allowed to have and set off fireworks. So the wife says, but you cant do anytime other than special days(events).

certainly your info is factual and correct in reality a very different story as are many things in Thailand same old story lack of enforcement

of existing rules and regs

Find a shop selling artifacts etc for the Chinese Temples, they have lots of fireworks and cheaper than the usual shops. This type of shop is normally within walking distance of a Chinese Temple.

Want a great night, go watch fireworks.

Want a horrible night, buy dodgy Thai fireworks and let them off.

Never ever again will I buy any.

Don't do it mate. Main problem is wicks that burn to quickly or flare on your hand when you light them, or much worse but so easy to do is start a fire when they come down...especially in rural Issan.

Turn into a nightmare so quickly, but up to you.

Issan is a massive part of the country and you dont say what part but most markets sell them for events like nye.

If you do buy them, make sure you bury the mortars well into the ground and stabilize them properly.

Seriously a great way to end in big trouble fireworks in Thailand are. Dont do it.

I was going to comment before you posted, about your fire....but didnt want to embarrass you...and those rockets in the ground....do you want to buy a bent table?... Still giggling about that from a couple of years back.
