Brer Fox Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 And here is me foolishly thinking that unlike the past week we might have a murder free day in the news. Alas it was not to be and another young victim has had his life cut short. Lawlessness and disorder seems to be trying to define the lowest level it can go to in Thailand. Unlike road deaths where the sky is the limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBadGeordie Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Some people object to having water thrown over them while they are heading out for the evening. Some more than others. Did you bother to read the full story? "Witnesses told police Kittikorn and his two friends were drunk when they sexually harassed a woman on a pick-up truck as it passed the entrance of Soi Suksawat 64. Another man in the truck became angry, drew a .38-caliber pistol and shot all three of them." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm...."Phra Pradaeng’s Songkran, also known asSongkran Paklat, is a traditional New Year festival of the Thai Raman, or ethnic Mon, living in Samut Prakan. It’s usually held about a week after the Thai New Year festival." Edited April 25, 2016 by BigBadGeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only does the "normal" Songkran range from 2 to I-don't-know-how-many-days, starting on 13th, ending on whenever...now it's all different ethnicities having their own Songkran?

It's a matter of which calendar they are following, similarly to the differences in observing Easter among Orthodox/Catholic christians.
