Where can I get accident statistics?

[georgegeorgia]

Just wondering where or anyone know about how many deaths per year in Pattaya relating to motorcycle accidents .

I'm particularly after the foreigner deaths

Maybe ask TAT, they are the leader of statistics in Thailand. There used to be farangdeaths.com but it's offline now, would not be reliable data too. So the short answer is nowhere.

Good luck... 

 

WHO can't even get accurate figures for the whole of Thailand Road Deaths and has to 'estimate' - their figure is close to double Thailands 'official' number. 

 

Not wishing to 'Thai Bash' but I don't think Thailand officialdom is yet mature enough to use statistical analysis to bring improvement, ergo, recording statistics in a concise useable manner is a waste of time.

 

i'm not aware of any such body here in Thailand such as the 'Office of National Statistics'.

 

 

That said - I can understand why it would be interesting to learn how many foreigners are involved in motorcycle accidents compared to Thai's, particularly in places such as Pattaya and on a Per-rider per capital basis - i.e. in aggregate are foreigners more of a danger to themselves than Thai's when riding in such areas.

I suspect such details stats will not be available.

Plenty of the motorbike accidents do not even involve police, so there would not be statistics. As said, TAT. quality at best.

You can mitigate the risks

 

Don't drink and drive

 

Wear a helmet

 

Don't ride after dark

 

Get a licence and experience back home first

 

Ensure you have control of yourself i.e. don't let ego and testosterone take over

Interesting statistics, is the 399,000 just this year only?
