During this year's Loy Krathon, two serious accidents from fireworks in my village, multiply this up nationally and a ban on all fireworks would seem a good idea.

"The foundation agreed to display decorative lights rather than.."

Well, is it any wonder that the phuyais' decision resulted in a single company (name starting with "L") providing most of the decorative lights, and whose HQ is on Ratchada Road? I wonder if they are "advisors" to this company. Anyway, let's enjoy the occasion and deal with the corruption later.
