Regime claims a conspiracy to get revenge for its planned traffic regulationsLt Gen Sansern: A plot to discredit the regime. Lt Gen Sansern said that some of the bogus restrictions were "guidelines" made by the cabinet during previous years of the Songkran festival. Meanwhile, more than 15,000 passenger vans are required to comply with the passenger seat limitation rule by April 10, Department of Land Transport chief Sanith Phromwong said. Concerns over passenger van safety reached its peak following a collision on Jan 2 between a passenger van and a pickup truck. Mr Sanith said a total of 15,808 passenger vans across the country must remove extra seats before the Songkran holiday kicks off.
