From April 12 through April 14, Bangkok government Chadchart Sittipunt has invited the people to participate in Songkran holidays on the streets of Silom and Khao San, as well as ensuring safety procedures will be in place throughout the money.
He claimed that entrance checkpoints and CCTV installations have been implemented by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration ( BMA ) as part of comprehensive safety protocols for all Songkran venues throughout the city.
The exact procedures used next year will be put into effect in high-traffic places like Khao San and Silom, including one-way doors with officers stationed at checkpoints and gates.
Additionally, Mr. Chadchart mentioned how artificial intelligence ( AI ) will assist in improving surveillance of Khao San Road. This includes using CCTV to perform group analysis and visual recognition to find lost and lost items.
He noted that this year’s Songkran gives Bangkok an opportunity to demonstrate its planning and public health efforts in light of the recent earthquake on March 28.
He added that BMA groups would remain assisting with recovery operations at the crumbling State Auditorium building in the Chatuchak district even during the holidays.
Silom Road, from Sala Daeng to Nararom Intersection, may be closed regular from 1 to 9 pm for the Songkran celebrations on April 12 and 14, according to Bang Rak area commander Pornpan Wattanasin.
The closing extends from Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra Road to Rama IV Road.
She cautioned street vendors against trusting any claims that the contrary are prohibited from operating on the roads. The 1992 Act on the Maintenance of the Cleanliness and Orderliness of the Country will bring legitimate activity against those who violate it.
Sanon Wangsrangboon, the lieutenant governor of Bangkok, added that Songkran can be celebrated at 196 places by the BMA.
The Maha Songkran World Water Festival 2025 in Sanam Luang, as well as the activities at Iconsiam, Siam Center, and Samyan Mitrtown, are features.
A” Five-No” plan has been put forth by BMA to guarantee a safe and enjoyable festival: no large water cannons, no liquor, no revealing clothes, no talcum powder, and no water waste.
The Songkran Festival’s opening ceremony was presided over by Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who was also in charge of King Power Rangnam’s service. She urged Thais to use the event as a” soft strength system” to improve the country’s economic potential.
