Traffic on two highways heading towards Bangkok from Nakhon Sawan started to build up on Monday afternoon as travelers began their return journey from the North and Northeast regions. Despite the Songkran holiday extending until Tuesday, numerous individuals who had left Bangkok for the traditional Thai New Year opted to head back a day earlier to evade potential traffic congestion.
By Monday afternoon, both Highway No. 117 (Nakhon Sawan-Phitsanulok) and Highway No. 122 (Nakhon Sawan bypass) were experiencing notable traffic volumes.
Despite the considerable number of vehicles, traffic in Nakhon Sawan’s Muang district continued to flow relatively smoothly, with only minor slowdowns at major intersections such as Dechart Tiwong and Jiraprawat Nakhon Sawan Army Camp. Highway police officers, tasked with monitoring traffic, indicated that if congestion worsens, one outbound lane will be converted into an inbound lane.

This marks the initial group of suspects jointly targeted for extradition by the law enforcement agencies of both countries as part of this year’s crackdown on gambling and fraud-related crimes. Authorities have indicated that more suspects will be extradited to China in subsequent batches.

China’s public security authorities, in collaboration with the Cambodian police, recently conducted a joint operation to tackle gambling and fraud-related crimes.
During this operation, Cambodian police dismantled several gambling and fraud establishments in Preah Sihanouk, apprehending numerous Chinese nationals suspected of criminal activities. They also seized a variety of equipment including servers, computers, and mobile phones.
Under the supervision of the Ministry of Public Security, public security authorities in Hubei province dispatched a working group to Cambodia to facilitate the extradition process in collaboration with the Cambodian police.

As the Songkran holiday approaches, travelers are setting out for rural destinations, sparking worries among road safety advocates about potential upticks in road accidents beyond the traditionally identified “seven dangerous days” of travel.
This year, the “seven dangerous days” extend from today until April 17. Pol Lt Gen Kornchai Klayklueng, assistant national police chief, has declared the Royal Thai Police’s (RTP) goal of reducing road accidents by 5% during this timeframe.
With an expected 3.1% increase in road travelers compared to last year, especially on Friday and Saturday for departures from Bangkok and on April 16-17 for return trips, Pol Lt Gen Kornchai stressed the need for heightened law enforcement and safety measures. The RTP has set up an Accident Control Operation Centre specifically for the Songkran period.
In anticipation of potential traffic congestion causing delays, Pol Lt Gen Kornchai advised electric vehicle users to locate charging stations before their batteries run low. The Highway Police has compiled a list of routes with electric vehicle charging stations to assist EV users.
Expressing concern, Nikorn Jamnong, director of the Chartthaipattana Party and president of the People’s Safety Foundation, pointed out a troubling trend of increased accidents both before and after the “seven dangerous days” period. On Wednesday alone, there were 60 reported fatalities, compared to 30 during the same period last year, with motorcycles accounting for 50 of the deaths, including four expatriates.
With 4,207 road fatalities reported in the first quarter of this year, Nikorn emphasized the importance of authorities addressing road safety beyond the confines of the Songkran holiday dates.
Supporting these concerns, Prommin Kantiya, director of the Thai Health Promotion Foundation’s Accident Prevention Network, noted that some individuals have extended their holidays until April 21, prolonging the period of heightened road usage in the country.

The meeting of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has resolved to approve the additional details regarding investor confidence enhancement measures previously approved. These measures aim to develop and enhance the potential of registered companies in the securities market, aligning with the strategy to build a quality capital market for sustainable growth.
- Operational guidelines for stock trading aim to enhance oversight of Naked Short Selling and Program Trading, especially High-Frequency Trading (HFT), by requiring investors conducting HFT to submit an application or register. This enables monitoring of investor data at the sub-account level of Omnibus Accounts. Additionally, securities firms must implement Pre-Trade Risk Management systems to verify client securities holdings before executing HFT orders in the securities market trading system. Moreover, minimum order resting times will be established to standardize trading speed, preventing inappropriate trading behaviors. These measures are under consideration for feedback and are expected to be proposed to the SEC within the second quarter of 2024.
- Development and potential enhancement guidelines for registered companies focus on proactive work by collecting and utilizing beneficial data related to business operations. This includes efforts to compete within industry groups and target New Economy companies, which contribute to driving the country’s economy in line with government policies. Information dissemination and collaboration with relevant agencies, such as the Stock Exchange of Thailand and various media outlets, are emphasized to benefit all parties. Support will be provided for research organizations to produce Industry Analysis & Outlook Reports, and cooperation with related organizations, such as the Federation of Thai Industries and the Thai Chamber of Commerce, will be coordinated to facilitate data integration for more effective industry analysis and strategy formulation, especially for New Economy industries.
The SEC will continue to collaborate with all market participants to enhance confidence in the Thai capital market by providing useful information to investors.

After the Cabinet announced an additional special holiday for the Songkran Festival on Friday, April 12, 2024, extending the holiday to a total of 5 days from April 12-16, 2024, a PPTV HD 36 photographer surveyed the traffic situation in Bangkok, specifically along Rama 1 Road, Rama 4 Road, Ratchaprasong, and Victory Monument from 7:00-8:00 AM.
They found that the roads were clear and traffic was light, with fewer people than usual due to it being the first day of the Songkran holiday. It is expected that in the afternoon, people will come out to travel and celebrate the long Songkran holiday, possibly leading to heavy traffic returning to normal. Comments on the PPTV HD 36 Facebook page expressed appreciation for the peaceful atmosphere, convenience of traveling by bus without traffic, and the opportunity to see Bangkok in a different light.
Some mentioned the occasional solitude during bus rides on long holidays when there are few passengers. They suggested that Bangkok takes a break, calling it a dream city, where it takes only 2-3 hours for traffic to build up in front of shopping malls. Some people expressed mixed feelings about going to work on such a peaceful morning, where a 10-minute commute replaced the usual hour, enjoying the quietness but feeling a hint of loneliness.

According to state media reports, Truong My Lan, a prominent real estate tycoon in Vietnam, has been sentenced to death by a court in Ho Chi Minh City for her involvement in a massive financial fraud case totaling $12.46 billion, the largest in the country’s history. The trial, which began on March 5 and concluded earlier than expected, found Lan, the chairwoman of Van Thinh Phat Holdings Group, guilty of embezzlement, bribery, and breaches of banking regulations.
This verdict is part of a broader anti-corruption campaign initiated by Vietnam’s ruling Communist Party leader, Nguyen Phu Trong, aimed at rooting out graft. Despite these efforts, there have been limited tangible outcomes. The crackdown, known as the “blazing furnace,” has led to the prosecution or resignation of numerous senior government officials and notable business figures.
Lan and her associates were accused of diverting over 304 trillion dong from Saigon Joint Stock Commercial Bank (SCB), which she effectively controlled through various proxies. Investigators allege that between early 2018 and October 2022, Lan misappropriated substantial sums by facilitating illicit loans to shell companies. SCB was subsequently bailed out by the state after a run on its deposits.
Lan intends to appeal the verdict, according to a family member who spoke to Reuters prior to its announcement.
