The Songkran madness has not infect New York. The only water splashed on the streets of Manhattan are from the Street cleaning trucks sluicing down the gutters, however the festival gathers its strength for its inevitable end in Pattaya this weekend. so far there have been 3,537 road accidents resulting in 276 deaths and 3,992 injuries from April 11 to April 15 with Phitsanulok leading the nation’s death toll with 15.
Drunk Driving was reported to be the leading cause of accidents, though thankfully Bangkok is coming back to its senses in time to greet the Olympic Torch on April 17. Fire and water don’t mix.
