An exhibition was also held to encourage public awareness on the issues, with the emphasis on public participation to prevent potential accidents and losses.

The next day Governor Boonsong Techamanisatit and the chief of Pak Tha district of Laos’ Bokeo Province presided over the opening ceremony of the Songkran festival at the Thai-Lao border in Wiang Kaen district in Chiang Rai.
