AMNAT CHAROEN — 15 April 2026, more than 50,000 revellers gathered on Pa Khao Ma Road in Amnat Charoen on the final day of Songkran celebrations, with the area packed as tourists joined water festivities.
Seni Somkhiaowan, the provincial governor, said visitor numbers had steadily increased over the past two days of the event, with this year’s turnout rising by about 20% compared with last year.
The festival, held along a two-kilometre stretch in the city centre, drew both local residents and visitors from other areas. A “Wan Lai” celebration, which is a traditional extension of Songkran festivities, is scheduled at a nearby irrigation canal the following day.
He said the strong turnout reflected growing interest in the event, adding that cash circulation during the festival was estimated at around 10 million baht per day.
Security measures were reinforced with the installation of CCTV cameras throughout the event area to ensure public safety.
