59 Dead, 458 Injured in First Two Days of Songkran Holiday Travel, Bangkok Tops Fatalities
Here’s a list of sources for road safety statistics in Thailand apart from the WHO The list may not be complete but it is made up of credible sources you can use to find road safety statistics for Thailand beyond the WHO. They range from government data to academic research and NGO reports: ThaiRSC - Thailand Road Safety Collaboration Centre - http://www.thairsc.com This is Thailand’s official road safety data clearinghouse. It’s part of the Ministry of Public Health and compiles accident statistics, fatalities, injuries, and research by region, vehicle type, and more. Primarily in Thai there are some EL reports. Department of Disease Control (DDC), Ministry of Public Health - https://ddc.moph.go.th They re meant to collaborate with ThaiRSC. They collect health-related accident and injury data — including road fatalities, hospitalizations, and injury types by province. Reports cover more than just death counts — they break down demographics and contributing factors. Thai Traffic Accident Statistics from the Department of Land Transport (DLT) - https://www.dlt.go.th - Sttats on vehicle registrations, driving licenses issued, and technical enforcement info like checkpoints, speeding fines, and helmet/seatbelt usage. Asian Development Bank (ADB) - https://www.adb.org ADB has done road safety assessments in Southeast Asia region including Thailand. They publish broader regional road safety outlooks and policy analysis. Royal Thai Police (RTP) - https://www.royalthaipolice.go.th Hmmmm – this lot collect crash reports and compile annual traffic accident stats but the data is soften inconsistent or underreported (especially with injury categories), but it’s still a key source for the media. Havr you ever seen and RTP rash report?? Their data is responsible for the myth of data only reported at the scene. Others go much further than this iRAP (International Road Assessment Programme) - https://www.irap.org – Very useful site; they’ve assessed road infrastructure safety in Thailand and rated high-risk roads. Good for understanding how road design contributes to accident risks. Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety (BIGRS) - https://www.bloomberg.org/program/public-health/road-safety/, They’ve been partnering Thai cities (like Bangkok) and NGOs to improve road safety for many years…. Reports offer data and also track policy and enforcement impact. ThaiHealth (Thai Health Promotion Foundation) - https://www.thaihealth.or.th A quango-like independent state agency that works on public health campaigns, like road safety. They produce public reports on helmet use, drink-driving, etc. Then there is academic research - databases like Google Scholar, PubMed and ResearchGate There is also a recently formed a Parliamentary Advisory Group on Road Safety. This was formed to address the country's high rate of road traffic fatalities and injuries - supported by the World Health Organization (WHO) and other partners, it aims to strengthen laws, policies, and actions related to road safety. The group is responsible for shaping and assessing legislation, conducting studies, making policy recommendations, and engaging with various stakeholders to enhance accountability and public interest in road safety measures. - https://www.who.int/news/item/17-04-2024-thailand-s-new-road-safety-parliamentary-advisory-group-takes-aim-at-road-crashes?utm_source=chatgpt.com The aim behind this group is to the Second Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021–2030, which seeks to reduce road traffic deaths and injuries by 50% by 2030. Those more cynical note this is the “second decade” – actually there have been several periods assigned to improving road safety – thy have a habit of fizzling out! However this time the org is modelled on a UK model the Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety (PACTS). There are also Australian and Swedish organisations tying to help and influence the authorities who have previously remained obstinately cloth-eared - https://www.thaienquirer.com/52314/opinion-inaction-on-road-safety/?utm_source=chatgpt.com If you genuinely want to learn about road safety in Thailand you need to do more than just “Google” Remember to that on Google you need to have “research” skills rather than just a plain “search” to get fruitful results – such is the level of misinformation in the general media. -

The US Debt Problem
Yes. Some people did. 😄 And other people inherited a half billion from their parents then squandered it, going bankrupt 6 times. Until they got a hit TV show and Russian money laundering, it was hard to scrape by there for awhile 😄 -

Palestinian Columbia Protester Detained by ICE During Citizenship Appointment
He was on a student visa for 16 years...lol. He is also facing a lawsuit from some of the hostage families. Talk about abuse of the system. Bit more on him here from an article a year ago. Mohsen Mahdawi Mohsen Mahdawi, an anti-Israel activist who has no income producing job yet manages to be a student for nearly sixteen years at elite Universities like Columbia, openly advocates for the destruction of Israel and justifies Hamas terrorism. He actively participates in the radical anti-Israel movement and serves as co-president of Columbia’s Palestinian Student Union (DAR), an organization advocating for the end to Israel. Mahdawi has openly expressed support for eliminating Israel, leading protests with chants such as “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” https://stopantisemitism.org/as-week/mohsen-mahdawi/ Mahdawi was also co-president of Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), which celebrated the Oct. 7 terror attack The university later suspended the group in November 2023 for repeated violations of campus policy around protests. Families of hostages still held by Hamas after the terror attack filed a lawsuit last month that alleged SJP had advance knowledge of Hamas’ bloody plans, accusing it of being “Hamas’ American propaganda arm” https://nypost.com/2025/04/15/us-news/columbia-protester-mohsen-madawi-threatened-and-intimidated-jewish-students-state-department/ The State Department possesses evidence that Mohsen Mahdawi directly instructed extremists to physically assault students. They also state that his pro-terror social media presence barely scratches the surface of his deeper support for Hamas. He was of course friends with Mahmoud Khalil who went through his due process with the judge ordering him to be deported. -

Opinion Why the White House Must Double Down on DEI in Education
This anti-DEI circus is just a way to keep the MAGA masses busy and give them a sense of power, while the real issue (money) is kept under control (I.e. tax cuts for the rich).
