Royal Thai Police calls for public to take care of themselves and properties during New Year

The Royal Thai Police has warned people take care of themselves and their properties while travelling during Christmas and New Year’s holidays.

The national police cautioned motorists to drive without being under the influence of alcohol and to have enough rest before driving. They are also required to drive under the speed limit.

The police would like people not to wear or bring with them jewelleries, ornaments, and expensive items in public places.

People should double-check electricity, water and cooking gas before they leave their residences to prevent possible fire hazard.

House owners should notify their neighbours or the police in case of taking a long vacation.

Lt-Gen Achirawit Supanphesat, the Royal Thai Police spokesman, stated that entertainment venues or other business operations should request for the government’s approval to open their services 24 hours a day because the martial law has not been revoked in certain areas yet.

After they've just asked you to leave your jewelry and expensive items at home? No thanks!

Does this mean they have already decided which 410 people will die?

Is this a new form of extra-judicial killing?

How many MP's did TRT have after the 2005 election? Remarkable similarity of numbers there?

Tum ti tum ti tum tum - Panto anyone? (They;re behind youuuu - Oh no they're not - oh yes they are )
