He said Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha issued order No 54/2560 to allow people to set off fireworks during the period without the need to seek prior permission from the authorities.

Sansern said the lighting of fireworks must not take place near royal villas, oil depots, petrol stations, hospitals or airports
