Dangers, Inconveniences, Traveling in Thailand Elections - Holidays

Things to be aware of if traveling in Thailand. During ANY holiday or election the transportation system reaches maximum capacity. It is nearly impossible to get a train or bus ticket unless purchased far in advance. During elections all Thai people must return to their home town district to cast their vote. And during holidays it is traditionally a time to return home to pay respects to their families.
On another note. If visiting or living in Thailand, BE CAREFUL if driving or riding as a passenger on a motorcycle. Many people don't make it back home. Watch and find out why.
