webfact Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 PM overall satisfied with Songkran FILE photo BANGKOK, 16 April 2018 (NNT) – Thailand's Prime Minister has expressed satisfaction over the overall situation during the Songkran holiday, welcoming higher interest in Thai traditions and lower instances of crime. Prime Minister’s Office Spokesperson Lt Gen Sansern Kaewkamnerd has relayed Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-ocha’s thoughts about the most recent Songkran holiday, making known he was glad to see citizens paying attention to cultural and traditional activities following the government’s encouragement to do so. The PM was also pleased to know the amount of reported crime was down this year due to increased measures by the state as well as cooperation from citizens. Programs that proved effective during the period included the police house monitoring program, the polite water splashing campaign and a program promoting proper dress. Today is the final official day of Songkran festivities and the beginning of the revelers return to their places of work. The Prime Minister has, nonetheless, expressed concern over the health of those who have been engaged in water splashing for several days, urging all to be wary of their well being and to avoid conditions such as sun stroke and pneumonia. He urged those splashing water not aim for others' faces and not drink alcohol while joining in the play. Authorities have been ordered to remain vigilant and watchful over both revelers and potential criminals. -- nnt 2018-04-16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell as long as people wore traditional Thai costume it's a success. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jeremy50 Posted April 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2018 I am not quite sure why he is concerned with people catching pneumonia which is spread by a virus, not usually by splashing water, the poor man doesn't even seem to have a basic education. Of course no mention of hundreds of road deaths. The huge 'elephant' lumbering around in the room, which he chooses to ignore. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krataiboy Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) Thailand's Prime Minister has expressed satisfaction over the overall situation during the Songkran holiday, welcoming higher interest in Thai traditions and lower instances of crime. While totally ignoring the catastrophic figures for road deaths and injuries. Unbelievable. Or maybe not, if he regards the ongoing carnage on the highways as a "Thai tradition" Edited April 16, 2018 by Krataiboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2702 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Someone needs to learn to use aides with all questions to get proper answers. Thinking off top of your head for the answer and committing to it is bad enough with store sales assistants but when it's the top dog in the government doing it, it's pretty bloody shocking. His mate Prayut at least tried 3-4 times to explain his watch collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
