Unbelievable yes, but true.  

 

On average, nearly 50 people a day died on Thai roads

Unbelievable, why so? 50 deaths per day is actually slightly below the annual average.

The national average last year was 40 deaths a day.

I wonder how these statistics might compare with other countries if multiple road deaths due to travel in flatbed trucks and people carriers were discounted ......might even be comparable with developed nations????

On the other hand you could believe what WHO has to say rather than stick with the official government figures. Take your pick.

I've said it before and I'll keep saying it.

They're not really concerned as it comes under "population control"

Given that the Thai government have expressed alarm at the low and declining birth rate I would think that they are very much concerned about the high death rates on roads. Especially when one considers that the majority of losses are the countries potential bread winners, young males on their motorcycles,

In back of trucks not as many as motorbikes as usual, still no proper training and restrictions enforced hence the 89% total.
