webfact Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Picture: Thai Rath Chiang Mai's governor Charoenrit Sanguansat confirmed that absolutely no water splashing would be allowed in the Chiang Mai city's moat Also the parade of Buddhist images through the streets is off. They will be stationary this year outside the temple of Wat Phra Singh Woramahawihan for people to pay respects from April 11th to 15th. Thai Rath reported that some people were planning water splashing events outside the main area and this would be harder to police. A local businessman called for everyone to follow the rules fearing a possible resurgence of the virus. Meanwhile the governor said that a social media drama following Friday's Holi Festival or Festival of Colors was unwarranted. An event at the Night Bazaar followed all the Covid-19 protocols including limiting numbers to 50 per time. Fears had been expressed online that the event, practiced by people in the Indian community, contravened regulations. The governor said that he had asked the public health department to look into it but that everything was above board. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-03-30 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Gringo Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 I'm looking forward to the spin when the Government finds out its citizens have totally ignored the water ban and other virus related pronouncements. this ought to be funny. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a big police station by the traffic lights at the end of my road, every day when I ride my m/c past with no helmet, they fail to stop me. I'm guessing they'll have the same level of interest in enforcing COVID restrictions, or water fights. Although I may be wrong.

bangon04 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 If they have some busloads of Chinese tourists come in to participate it may help - they usually use the moat as a toilet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
