good point.....on the main day of Songkran a couple of weeks ago they had all parked down there blocking of the lane on the shops side and also there were buses and other Thai toursit type operator mini-bus types as well stopped next to them so the whole one way system was down tpo one lane.....traffic was backed to a standstill back up to the main set of lights at Nania Rd.......just ridiculous....took us 1.5 hrs to get along Beach Rd...
