The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) would like to inform international and domestic tourists that most of the TAT’s annual events and festivals scheduled during March and May, 2020, have been cancelled, scaled back or postponed. 

This strategic cooperation is in line with the Royal Thai Government’s current nationwide surveillance, prevention and control measures for the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).

As Thailand intensifies its measures to curb the spread of COVID-19, TAT as a state-run enterprise is doing its utmost to strictly implement preventive measures and heighten awareness for all tourists in Thailand to protect them from being exposed to the virus. 

Taking into consideration the aim to safeguard public health, TAT has reconsidered events and festivals that it annually hosts, co-hosts or supports. 

Although most Songkran related events that TAT normally hosts annually were cancelled this year, TAT deeply values the Thai New Year, a traditional time to place family first, pay respect to one’s elders, and visit temples.

The status of some events and festivals are as follows:
