PHUKET: Limelight Avenue will be hosting a clean fun Songkran party on April 13 to encourage people to partake in the wet holiday in a responsible manner.

Under the slogan ‘Songkran No Alcohol and Discovery Thainess’, the party will run from 4:45pm to 9pm, with musical performances by Absolution, Black Sheep and Zeal.

The following will be banned in the party zone: alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, weapons, powder, foam, water dyes, high-pressured guns, fighting, nudity and drunkenness.

“The main purpose of the event is to encourage people not to drink during the Songkran festival and to support the ‘Thainess’ of Songkran,” said Vice Governor Chokdee Amornwat on Wednesday. “We encourage participants to dress up in traditional Songkran style.”

Look at all those lovely signs indicating what's prohibited.

Reminds me of those of a traffic variety that no one pays any attention to either.

Love it. Best of luck!

Great initiative especially for families. Hope it goes well.
