Foreigners and Thais enjoy Songkran on Silom Road last year. (Bangkok Post file photo)A long section of Silom Road will be a water-splashing zone from noon to 8pm from tomorrow until Saturday, but alcohol, talcum powder and high-pressure water guns are prohibited. However, revellers were still expected to flock to Silom Road during the festival to splash water, as in previous years. An 850-metre section of Silom Road, from Sala Daeng intersection to Nararom intersection, will be closed to vehicles to allow water-splashing from noon to 8pm from April 13 to April 15, Mr Wanlop said. Checkpoints will be set up around the venue and water trucks and vehicles with loud music will not be allowed to enter Silom Road during this period, he said.
