Instead of loosening up enforcement for the annual national party that is Songkran, police said they’re going to be especially vigilant this year.
Security forces will “intensify” internal security during the mid-April festival and ask the public to help monitor the situation, according to state media in a report which for no clear reason then changes topics to the Islamic State.
“The spokesman also stated that there had been no report that Thai citizens had traveled to the Middle East to join ISIS. The Thai government would cooperate with ASEAN in preventing outside threats and the use of social network to recruit people for terrorism, he said.”
