Yes it was quiet not the big crowd

but it was nice with a friendly atmoshpere

and the free concert on the beach 

with Carabao was a good moment too.

With the expected drought in the next months

songkran could be with a water ban indeed

I saw lots of Thai families; not many romantic couples strolling the beach; definitely no farang couples.

They said lanterns were barred, so why did I see loads floating up into the sky. Many many of them. I am talking about jomtien beach. Also loud music which must have been well above the set decibels. And they talk about loud motor bike exhausts. !!!!

And no-one on motorcycles without helmets, no prostitution, no drunk drivers etc etc and on and on and on infinitum... 

 

The law and rules in Thailand are only worth as much as their enforcement.

 

The officials, Police etc are so arrogant they believe all they have to do is make a press announcement and that's it, done !... the apathy starts at the top while society generally polices itself !

Sounds like the way management and Human Resources act at the big aerospace company I work at.  Fortunately I am moving on shortly to spend and enjoy a lot of time off as semi retired.  So sad that so many low level workers do so much work and much like common citizens get shat upon

There are set decibels? Surely not.
