Loy Kratong from family holiday to family tragedy

November 24th, 2007 | Culture, Festivals, Loy Kratong

Now it has happened with Loy Kratong as well, the so quiet holiday have now become a reason for drinking and rumbling around.

The holiday should be quiet and a family thing has in many places in Thailand turned in to be a family tragedy with many people loosing eyes and limbs to firecrackers.

I wish the Thais could keep the old holidays the way they should suppose to be like the Songkran (water festival) have turned into a water war and people are fleeing to safer ground (me included). People die in 1000 from driving drunk and from getting ice cubs in the face when they drive motorbikes.

Lets see if this New Year and Christmas will be any different with the election coming up the 23 of December.
