The Department of Highways (DOH) is implementing preventative steps in preparation for the approaching Songkran long holidays, in order to ensure road safety and facilitate the seamless movement of the millions of people who will be entering and exiting Bangkok during this time. A predicted 7 million automobiles are expected to travel on 10 highways and motorways between April 11-17, according to the DOH’s Bureau of Highway Safety. This is a 5.3% increase from the number of vehicles that traveled during the Songkran travel period in the previous year. The 16th of April is anticipated to be the busiest day for incoming traffic, with over 610,000 vehicles scheduled to enter the city on that day.
Those who are planning to travel on particular roadways are being advised by the Department of Health to consider taking one of many alternative routes. People have access to all of these recommendations through the Department of Health’s Facebook page, which gives them all of the information they need to properly plan their trips. In addition, the Department of Health is recommending motorists to drive with extreme caution, adhere to all traffic rules, and make sure they are physically prepared for the extended trip.
The Department of Health is also providing a toll-free hotline at the number 1586, which is staffed around the clock, for any questions or support that may be required while driving on highways or motorways. You can also reach the Highway Police by dialing 1193. This number is provided for your convenience.
During the Songkran long holidays, visitors may relax knowing that their safety is of the utmost concern thanks to the work of the Department of Public Health (DOH), while also enjoying a stress-free journey to their final destination.
