Culture minister Itthipol Khunpleum said Thursday he would propose the remaining two days of Songkran holidays in September. If approved by the Cabinet, the proposal will give us a long weekend from Friday Sept 4 to Monday Sept. 7.
Water splashing and large-scale events will not likely be allowed, however.
The Songkran public holidays and festivities from April 13 to 15 were cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
