Songkran Festival is regarded as the “Thai version of Spring Festival”, so all common transportation agencies will also welcome the peak passenger flow of the whole year, especially trains.
In order to provide quality services to passengers, the booking period of SRT express trains has been extended from 30 days to 90 days.
On April 4, Thai Transport Minister Suriya instructed the six airports under AOT to ensure the safety of all tourists.
This year’s Songkran Festival carnival time is April 13-15, so the peak passenger flow period is April 10, 11, and April 16, 17.
If you are not in a hurry, you can avoid traveling on these days and squeezing various transportation tools with workers.
