PATTAYA — 14 April 2026, large crowds of Thai and foreign tourists gathered along Pattaya Beach on the night of 14 April, as Songkran celebrations continued at full pace.
Reporters said the atmosphere was lively, particularly from Nipa Lod intersection through Soi 7 and Soi 8 along the beach road, where revellers took part in water splashing to cool off in the heat.
Police officers were deployed at key points to maintain security and facilitate traffic, urging participants to celebrate respectfully to reduce the risk of fights or accidents.
Authorities also imposed partial road closures along Pattaya Beach Road to prevent accidents and improve safety for residents and visitors.
A key highlight, “Wan Lai Pattaya 2026”, is scheduled for 19 April. Morning activities from 08:00 to 12:00 will include a traditional water-pouring ceremony over Buddha images at Wat Chai Mongkhon, followed by entertainment events and live music performances by well-known artists along Pattaya Beach later in the day.
