Let me see if I can understand the logic here.  It was ok in Dec 2021 to have fireworks and music festivals  every weekend  drawing in tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands,  where everyone was packed on the beach, in bars, and other places elbow to elbow, promoting the spread of covid.  Proof shown as the numbers climbed higher than ever in Thailand.   Even allowed and had New Year celebrations every where.  But The Thais cant have their holiday?  Wheres the logic?  Ok,  tourist cities can have their parties and festivals, if they get sick, they get sick, but we will get their money, and it will be only they that get sick, not local nationals.... wait a min that did cause a rise and spread of COVID.  Sorry local nationals you cant have your party.

Mr. Charnvirakul also urged people not to drink and drive during Songkran

 

During Songkran ?

This should be 'urged' all year round, and strictly enforced, with severe penalties for offenders, and is one of the main reasons for the horrific road death toll.

And this clown wants to be the next P.M. ! 

They dont have enough police or vehicles  to enforce this and the level of integrity is not a high value in certain areas of the world..

No, quite wrong. My Mrs will travel back to her home village as usual and spend about a week there, reuniting with family, and I assure you she will have fun and an enjoyable time. It is not a binary situation. The craziness displayed in Pattaya or Khao Sahn Rd, isn't the essential component you might believe. 

You are correct.  Just yesterday it was in the news that busses  will be ready and more available  during Songkran, so there is the proof.  They will stop nothing and its all media control. They know people are still gonna do it, and they will facilitate  travel to do this with more busses to get them together.

Easy cancel Songkran celebrations outside of home environment - Job done ...!!!

No, better a carrot and stick approach - NO Songkran unless deaths are reduced ALL year on the road by 20%

That’s it, take away any sort of happiness from the people while the rich thieves live it up with their own private parties. Wishes to Insert appropriate four letter word. 

You do not have to jump into a car after drinking - drinking is not the issue. nor is parties (lo or hi so) - insaneness by driving  AFTER is
