This year the rules for the coronavirus pandemic are in full effect.\u00a0There is anti-Songkran signage in several languages: “Please refrain” it says politely in English.<\/p>\n
Local police and others in uniform are out and about, advising any groups of people to get moving on and are even issuing 2,000 baht fines for anyone splashing water.<\/p>\n
Instead of getting drenched the moment you step outside – even if you are on your way to the supermarket, this year instead of a water gun in your face, you get a temperature gun instead, your temperature taken at least three times on the way there and then one the way back again, alcohol put on your hands at least four times and everyone is masked up like some kind of ninja.<\/p>\n
Strange times indeed.<\/p>\n
