At least at song Khran the daily death rate is lower than the average for the rest of the year.

La la la brakes failed right. More likely going like  a "Bat out of hell" and not driving to the conditions of the road Next case 25,000 dead looking good

Not necessarily - the figures - which are of course pretty unreliable consistently bring SK deaths to about 60 to 70 whereas daily figures come out at up to 80. remember this is only one type of stat out of many . i.e per 100k pop...nothing to do with traffic volume or miles covered etc etc....Thailand doesn't even have an annual casualty stat. nothing is cut and dried with road stats - in particular in Thailand.

From a worldwide point of view big national holidays usually mark a downturn in road casualties - partly because of publicity and partly due to the nature /demographics of the traffic - e.g. a lot less commercial traffic than normal and a lot of very slow traffic congestion.....I'd say that police intervention actually causes more collisions in Thailand - whether or not they are fatal we will never know.
