Police are warning ahead of Loy Krathong tonight against people firing guns in the air, while the Ministry of Public Health has urged better safety measures to prevent deaths by drowning during and after the festival.
Celebrating this popular festival by shooting in the air is totally wrong and illegal as it might end up in the death of someone, Royal Thai Police (RTP) spokesman, Pol Maj Gen Archayon Kraithong, said on Monday.
