During the monthly Bun Bang Fai event, the government is more violently enforcing laws on rocket launch near flights, warning those who violate them of fines up to five years in captivity, a 200, 000 ringgit good, or both.
The Ministry of Transportation has instructed the Department of Airports to make the public aware of the risks posed by launching missiles, lights, and sky lights in May and June, mainly in the Northeast, where the celebration is well-liked, according to deputy state official Karom Polpornklang on Saturday.
He claimed that modern rockets then have higher altitudes, which pose serious risks to aircraft and public health.
According to Mr. Karom, people must first get local authority approval and notify near airports at least 7 to 15 working days in advance.
At least two organizers ‘ contact details and extensive GPS location must be included in the application.
Breaches can lead to severe sanctions.
Offenders may experience life prison, the death sentence, or fines of up to 800, 000 ringgit under the Air Navigation Act, he said, if launches cause plane damage or harm flight safety.
