Bangkok, which was crowned the globe’s top tourist destination for the previous year, has extended an invitation to everyone to participate in the Songkran celebrations along Silom and Khao San streets from April 12 to 14. The authorities have also guaranteed that various precautionary measures will be implemented throughout the city.
The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has implemented thorough safety measures at all Songkran festival locations across the city, featuring entry check points as well as CCTV systems.
In bustling locations such as Khao San and Silom, the same procedures implemented previously will be put into action. This includes setting up single-direction entry points where policemen will be positioned at gates and checkpoints.
The Bangkok governor, Chadchart Sittipunt, announced that Khao San Road will undergo increased monitoring using advanced technology, including AI for facial recognition and crowd analytics via CCTV cameras. This initiative aims to aid in finding missing individuals and misplaced belongings.
Deputy Bangkok Governor Sanon Wangsrangboon stated that the BMA has set aside 196 areas for individuals to partake in the Songkran festivities.
Notable highlights encompass the Maha Songkran World Water Festival 2025 at Sanam Luang as well as various activities taking place at Iconsiam, Siam Center, and Samyan Mitrtown.
To guarantee a secure and pleasant festival experience, the BMA has implemented a "Five-No" rule: no large water pistols, no alcoholic beverages, no skimpy outfits, no baby powder, and no wastage of water.
During the holiday, BMA teams would continue rescue operations at the State Audit Office building in Chatuchak district that fell during the March 28 earthquake .
According to Euromonitor International, Bangkok was crowned the leading tourist destination globally for 2024 following the arrival of an unprecedented 32.4 million visitors.
