Three drunk drivers were caught celebrating Loy Krathong too much in Pattaya.
A traffic police checkpoint on Second Road near North Road netted the intoxicated drivers Nov. 19.
Police said that, although Pattaya’s bars are closed and alcohol sales forbidden at restaurants, booze-related accidents have increased since the lockdown and curfew was eased.
With more events planned weekly, authorities only expect alcohol use to increase.
