Moonlover Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Unbelievable, why so? 50 deaths per day is actually slightly below the annual average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will B Good Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 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????

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.

In back of trucks not as many as motorbikes as usual, still no proper training and restrictions enforced hence the 89% total. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
