Thailand's deadliest driving Season Ahead

Songkran, the Thai New Year begins in less than three weeks.
It's the annual celebration when Thai's near and afar make a pilgrimage home to be with family.

A few days before the holidays it becomes obvious: 
Extra buses are put into service from major metropolitan centers.   
Highway traffic is at its peak, and so are accidents and road mayhem.

Plenty of extra road checks are set up along highways to insure driver sobriety.
Many of these checkpoints now have breathalyzers.
