Now E10 fuel (known as gasohol) and E20 fuel in Thailand are cheaper than before. But some political parties have plans to make them even more cheaper.
North Korea probably won't show images of New Year festivities in other cities (or maybe does not have other new year events in other cities).
I think this is the kind of New Year celebration that Thai conservatives want – blanded, calmed and ordered, like folded clothes (a Thai idiom). No excitements, no sexy, etc.
The good things are no drunk drivers, no car accidents. Alcohol-haters will love it!
