KANCHANABURI: Tourists have flocked to Sangkhla Buri district for the long holiday weekend, with hotels and resorts fully booked until New Year amid measures to contain the spread of Covid-19.
The atmosphere at the Uttamanusorn Bridge, known locally as Saphan Mon, was lively on Saturday as visitors thronged the country’s longest wooden bridge spanning the Song Kalia River. All of them had to pass a Covid-19 screening checkpoint manned by heath officials and volunteers. All were asked to wear face masks.
