Its "stand alone" good news .

"murder, theft, gambling, prostitution, and drunk driving" are different topics

My point was that they do nothing about the above problems, so why does one expect them to do anything about people splashing water.:coffee1:

  • Ha ha ha, bang! That's me laughing my head off. I'd love to see anything enforced here for more than five minutes, especially when so many people will be drunk and ignore it.  

  • Good news and it needs to be enforced .

  • Glad to hear it, well done! No more drunken gangs of youths throwing buckets of water into on coming motorcyclists and covering the ones that stop with talcum powder in the eyes.     Ju

They have recently clamped down on Visas, fake goods, burning, porn videos , licenses , street food sellers , chinese lanterns , hotels, land grabs and various other things, no reason why they cannot clamp down on songkran

Bringing more happiness to the people

 

actually it would. speaking to my thai friends, admittedly middle class educated professionals, they totally support zoned areas for throwing water.

 

i guess it will be the teenagers and lower class/educated adults, who are generally those indulging in the anti-social behaviour at songkran, who will not be happy

You like songran, just so that you can see females in wet T-shirts ?

I say old chap, old Whizzbang dear boy. I should hope so too, as your "middle class educated professionals" don't have to travel the roads on those awful little motorbikes either. Not for them the hot sun and awful water. It's wet you know. Can't have that. Turn the aircon up.

Leave the mayhem and "anti social behavior to the hoi paloi and the peasants what...

To$$er...

Wet, WHITE t-shirts. Yes.

Is this ban to be enforced at the same time as the other bans that are in place for a few years already.

 

No powder throwing

 

No ice throwing

 

No dirty water

 

No large diy guns

PICTURE THIS in your mind:


Pattaya: Walking street, Beach-Road, Second-Road = No booze, no water fights. Tourists unhappy. Some miss the booze, some miss the water. Some will miss both.
How are "they" going to enforce it?:violin:
Cheers.

Would it really affect the death toll?

 Well, let's hope to see some wet nipples regardless of their rules.

Please make that 10 - 19 April for those of us unfortunate enough to be stuck in Pattaya!

That should at least mean that second rd will be included? Would be nice to get the baht bus to central world without the usual 20 buckets of ice water

I think the odds of that are roughly the same as winning the Thai lottery ... and the Euro lottery - on the same day.

Real tourists wouldn't have any idea about how it was in previous yesrs.

I really just wished it was two days of water mayhem, that didn't include showering motorcyclists. Being drunk is no excuse for acting like a savage.

When they announce a ban it seems more people just ignore it.

 

When was the last time a policeman was even seen out in the streets during songkran?

Hyper intelligent mind technology totally in line with the development of the 4.0 uppgrade, but will that really work in a dead heads mindset?

Edited by Get Real

Big words and good intentions....Welcome to Thailand......:WPFflags:

Unless you arrived yesterday, do you really believe for one second, that it will be enforced..?

Throwing water at fast moving vehicles is dangerous.

Standing in the middle of the road is dangerous.

About time this madness was banned!

If it smells like BS, looks like BS, it's BS.

We were talking about in Chiang mai though

It also wasnt a complete ban , Chinese lanterns were restricted to certain days , times and places and that ban was adhered too

Why do you utter hetrophobic lunacy?

Because a person posted a photo of ladies in wet T-shirts as an example as why he likes Songkram

Yes, but it's very important that someone say "enforce alcohol control law"

Bla bla bla from the 'irresponsibles"
