If they actually banned the ridiculous bun fight in certain areas, they might find the places inside would do great business.

It is ridiculous because; A) It won't work as drunk idiots will be wandering the streets as every Songkran since only some 7's and none of the mom and pop shops adhere to alcohol bans, but all the tourist bars will be forced to, and therefore is B ) an unnecessary hardship on businesses which are losing money due to what already seems like a dry holiday or election every 8th day and 3) drunk driving is already illegal anyway, but not taken seriously in Thailand until someone is hurt or injured. Making it "illegal jing jing" isn't going to make any difference.
