They are running out of ideas to make all of this more miserable

Less alchohol during the Songkran period, with or without water fights will reduce socialising, and if it is only for 10 days, as in some places, not so bad. It's the danger of the ten days becoming another ten days, and then another that is worrying.

I've become bored of beer recently, so I'll just use this as an opportunity to give it up for a while, we're all getting fatter now anyway...

Time to head down to Makro before Prachuap implements a ban too

this is true but it's even more of a challenge when exercise is forbidden too
