Nightriders ignore helmet rule Young adults the main offenders - and the most killed
The much vaunted police crackdown on motorcyclists is largely being ignored by the group most at risk – young motorcyclists. The Chiangmai Mail carried out its own survey last week to see if the local motorcyclists were heeding the police call to turn on their headlights and wear their helmets. The results turned out to be very surprising.

The
Chiangmai Mail carried out its own survey last week to see if local
motorcyclists were heeding the police call to turn on their headlights and wear
their helmets. The results turned out to be very surprising. Obviously the

children. It will be unlikely that the road toll will be less at Songkran if
the helmet rule continues to be ignored by those most at risk. For more.

Chiang Mai’s 3rd Mardi Gras festival was organized by
Chiang Mai Provincial Authorities, the Municipality and the Tourism
Authority of Thailand to mark the opening of the tourist high season for the
north. It was hoped the four day and night event would draw Thais and
foreign tourists to the city.
Varee Chiang Mai School held its own mini Olympic Games
last Friday in a fun action packed day of sports and athletic activity.
As part of the “Unseen Thailand” campaign, the
Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) organized a familiarization trip to
Isaan, the northeastern part of the kingdom. This was a 6 day - 5 nights
soft adventure tour program along the mighty Mekong River.
