The media claimed to have confronted officials in Nakorn Ratchasima about it only to be told that it was impossible to stop DUI - so they were just appealing for drunks to drive slowly at New Year. 

This is a totally irresponsible response and the government should be ashamed of themselves for this kind of report, the only reason that DUI is impossible to stop is because the Thai police normally do next to nothing to fix the problem, the Thai's know they will get away with DUI as the police allow this to happen, how come other countries are able to manage this problem more efficiently than Thailand - Not rocket science....LOL

Hardly think the mega water fights of today would merit inclusion, though the origins behind Songkran are nice.

Perfectly correct, the true Thai Songkran which they used to be when I first came to Thailand was absolutely the nicest festival you could possible want to join in, it is far away from the water fights that it has become, if they could turn the clock back to how it used to be I would agree with trying to get this festival registered but in it's current form NO WAY....!!!

He said that the group had negotiated low rentals without key money meaning that in many instances rents will be 50% of costs in Walking Street. 

 

"We hope that these savings will be passed down to the customer resulting in lower alcohol prices and a better experience for the end user.

I like the "We Hope these savings will be passed down to the customer" bit the big players from walking street & LK Metro will definitely not be happy with this line of thinking......LOL

The Royal Thai Police has been instructed to strictly enforce road laws during the "Seven Dangerous Days", especially dealing with drink-driving, speeding and motorcyclists who don’t wear safety helmets in all areas. The police will continue to suppress reckless activities, raise awareness and seek cooperation from the people to monitor suspicious activities and help each other.

Why not strictly enforce all the year round not just on known dangerous days...!!!!!

I hope the Thai leaders and Thai public also realise how quickly and honest the results were confirmed....!!!!!

I am just starting to recover from this virus and would like to point out that the fever can last 10 - 14 days but the pain can last for weeks, months or even years according to some reports. I have been suffering with joint pain for three weeks and the pain is debilitating to say the least so am hoping my pain will soon diminish enough to enable me to go outside the confines of the house, it really is an understated fever and one to avoid if at all possible.

“Do you have a strong opinion about billionaires?” and “Do you have strong opinions of people who visit or live in Thailand?”

First part is easy, Yes I want to be one..!!!! and for the second part You need to be one to afford to live in Thailand....LOL

Well done the police, I hope this trend to eliminate would be attackers continues and sends a message that such people with intentions to harm other people will be met with decisive actions.

A leading government figure has said that Thailand is about to introduce a "Double Entry Tourism Visa".

 

The problem with this plan is once people realise how much cheaper things are in the neighbouring countries they won't be coming back.........LOL
