Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has given the Tourism and Sports Ministry the task of dispelling people mistrust throughout the length of this year’s Songkran celebration.
The expanded Songkran party period, which the government claims is 21 days, will be explained by Mr. Srettha, who spoke on Monday.
Some foreign tourists mistaken this for the country’s 21-day-a-day liquid fights starting April 1.
Although the Maha Songkran World Water Festival runs from April 1 to April 21, according to government official Chai Watcharonke, actions are never held together in every state.
He claimed that the Tourism Authority of Thailand ( TAT ) has a calendar that lists 21 days of celebrations throughout the country starting April 1 through April 21.
Only the principal ceremonies take place between April 13 and April 15 in nearly every state.
One perplexed Chinese tourists recently discovered that no one else was celebrating when he was seen on social media carrying a water gun and a liquid gun outside a shopping mall in Bangkok.
Before it was shared by” Daka China,” a Facebook page featuring stories about China, a video clip of the holiday was posted to China’s video-sharing site Douyin. A Thai language was provided.
On Monday, Mr Srettha promised to quiet confusion, saying the Hospitality and Sports Ministry may become clarifying the matter.
The top demanded people reluctance as the mistake was being resolved and attributed the confusion to the diffusion of contradictory information about the revised structure for this year.
According to Mr. Srettha, each province may experience its own distinctive Songkran celebrations in accordance with its historical roots.
In some localities, such as the Phra Pradaeng city of Samut Prakan and in Pattaya, the event is normally hosted after the primary April 13- 15 party period.
