If you drink, don't float

An anti-alcohol group on Wednesday launched a three-part campaign urging Loy Kratong revellers to avoid alcohol and out-of-marriage sex.

In an appearance at the National Stadium, The Friend of Youth Foundation suggested the slogan: "If you drink, don't float so that you don’t risk sexually abusing others." Wednesday was Loy Kratong day in which Thais float krathongs - small offerings to the river spirits.

The Friend of Youth Foundation cited a poll in which 40 per cent of respondents said that Loy Kratong was the festival where people most likely will have sex.

    Loy Kratong is going the same way as Songkran, these beautiful cultural traditions are now taken over by excessive loud and heavy fire work throwing kids, at least where I live. Most parents seem not to be in control any more, pity.
