The “dangerous days” of Songkran coincided with the opening of the Nongprue Subdistrict Road Safety Center.
On April 11, with the assistance of civil defense volunteers, Nongprue administration, and police, Banglamung District Chief Winai Inpitak opened the traffic entrance at the Mitrkamol intersection on Siam Country Club Road.
Due to the staggering amounts of inebriated drivers and motorcycle riders without helmets, Songkran every year sees an increase in Thailand’s already absurd number of traffic accidents and fatalities.
