Songkran festival death Toll

Good news the fatalities are down on last year and believe me when I was in Phuket the police were out if full force, just walking into town from the hotel I saw police giving out tickets left right and centre, mainly for not wearning helmets but hey that's what is the cause of so many deaths in Thailand.

So Songkran's "seven dangerous days" ended yesterday with 373 deaths and 4,332 injuries in 3,977 road accidents nationwide.

The number of deaths increased by five from last year, but there were 471 fewer injuries and 266 fewer accidents.

Well I am back from Phuket and yes my province still have Mum, Dad, Granny and the yongest dhild and baby on the bike with not helmets zipping past on the main road, why the police are not uniform in their approach nationwide I dont no, but it needs urgent attention.
