The ThaiRSC reported in January that as many as 939,713 road accidents were reported in Thailand last year, up 4.7% from 2021. Road accidents killed 14,737 people,
That figure is ridiculous, it means basically 1 in every 70 people in Thailand will be in a road accident every year !!
Now some may say that the uk's 800,000 road accidents is very similar - BUT, Thai road deaths are 14,700 and UK death 1400 (10% of Thailand) - so basically what is the difference ?
Answer - SPEED & ALCOHOL.
I've yet to meet any Thai relative of mine that does not hit the accelerator to 150 KM after pulling away from the kerb !
