Every year, many locals and tourists observe the building of the sand pagodas and participate in various activities, including traditional Thai games, and visit food and souvenir stalls.

However, due to the large number of water trucks at Bang Saen Beach, traffic jams reportedly stretched for more than two kilometers along Sukhumvit Road and down to other nearby routes.

To ensure safety and order, officials prohibited water trucks from entering Bang Saen Beach and redirected them to Sukhumvit Road. The authorities also advised people to play respectfully and not to use high-pressure water guns. (NNT)
