I usually lock myself up during "the silly days" but Songkran without all that childish water splashing is like Christmas without Santa Claus or Easter without coloured eggs and bunnies. 

But, as everything else here, this suggestion will go unheard and unfollowed, so happy Songkran to everybody and I'll be around in the second half of April again .......

I'm sure that this will be as strictly adhered to as all the other anti-covid measures in Thailand.  ????

What a brilliant idea.  Bound to work. 

 

They could follow it up with. 

 

Thai motorcyclists asked to refrain from riding without a helmet. 

Thai drivers asked to refrain from driving without a seat belt and while drunk. 

 

The possibilities are endless.

Emergency decree still in place, why doesn't Prayut make it an order?

As Buddy Holly sang,

 

Well, that'll be the day when you say goodbye
Yes, that'll be the day when you make me cry
You say you gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die
