"The problem we have is that no-one knows how the Thais will feel two, three, or even four months down the road. What is appropriate for New Year? What is appropriate for Christmas? When the King first died they were saying, cancel for sure. Now they are saying that these events can go ahead but need to be adjusted appropriately. But, no-one can say yet what exactly that means. Like I said, no-one knows what the mood will be like in a few months. The same goes for Songkran. Will they want to celebrate by that time? They just cannot answer that question yet. And it would be wrong of us to try and push them on this."
