The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) will organise a major event to celebrate this year’s Songkran festival after a three-year pause due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt said on Tuesday.
While Lan Khon Muang in front of City Hall in Phra Nakhon district has been designated as the main venue for the capital’s water-splashing celebrations, all 50 district offices across Bangkok will also organise their own events to celebrate Songkran, or the Thai New Year, Mr Chadchart said.
