Mueang Chonburi —
The authorities in Chonburi have made the abrupt decision to cancel the New Year Countdown party in parts of the province and instead hold a merit-making rite for monks on January 1st, 2023.
The reason for the cancellation has not been explicitly stated, but it is believed to be related to the hospitalization of HRH Princess Bajrakitiyabha, who has yet to regain consciousness due to a heart problem.
It seems that the announcement only applies to celebrations that will take place in the Mueang district of Chonburi and is ineffective in other areas such as the Saensuk subdistrict.
As of press time, the highly anticipated Pattaya Countdown and Bangsaen Countdown were set to continue.
