Authorities have stated to the press this past week that high fines and potential jail time await anyone caught lighting off fireworks in the city streets and that police will be focusing on vendors and shops selling the items which are against Thai law for personal use.
Inspections of local shops suspected of selling the banned items have already begun, authorities added.
