I will never believe it. Not in the part of Thailand.

That's good news and probably means the Police should be equally present in the streets 365 days not only at Songkran

Dream on ...

Let's see what they publish about the 13th because I heard of at least one death on the road (old expat) in Rawai.

They don't count them if they die in hospital later though do they?
