Pattaya survived New Year’s Eve with a handful of
motorbike accidents, but no traffic-related fatalities.
Despite heavy traffic, the roads were free any
serious accidents. Police reported a few fender-benders involving drunk
drivers and motorbikes, but none proved fatal.
The death-free New Year’s Eve was an achievement for local law
enforcement, which invested heavily in accident-prevention efforts,
including rallies and road checkpoints.
