27 Sept 04:59 Key points summarised by AI
- Thai authorities propose a 'new-normal' Songkran, potentially allowing festivities but strictly prohibiting water splashing and powder smearing to mitigate COVID-19 risks.
- Traditional activities such as pouring water on elders' hands (Rod Nam Dum Hua) and Buddha images (Song Nam Phra) may be permitted, requiring participants to wear facemasks, pending final CCSA approval.
