Road Safety in Thailand – a summary of Perceptions and Reality
Hre is a summary of a paper I recently read - like the previous article it doesn't mention "bad drivers" anywhere. ". The public blame drivers rather than the state." - ““Their lives don't matter to politicians”: The necropolitical ecology of Thailand's dangerous and unequal roads” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0962629823001907 Thailand’s high rate of road deaths, is a result of political, economic, and cultural factors it affects mostly the poorer classes. It mentions the areas covered in the 5 Es..... Engineering - Poor road design, the lack of safety measures, (engineering) Enforcement - Weak enforcement of regulations, (Enforcement) Education - Insufficient driver education (Education)contribute to the crisis. Emergency - Lack of concern leads to slapdash first responder and emergency services - The concept of necropolitical ecology highlights how government inaction and neglect—rather than direct oppression—result in preventable deaths. Evaluation - A lack of coordination between agencies working on road safety, poor data collection, widespread corruption, and an ineffective lead agency, have weakened the state’s capacity to address this issue Limited public transport forces people, especially in rural areas, to rely on motorcycles and high-speed vehicles, increasing accident risks. Corruption, fragmented governance, and a lack of political will further weaken state intervention, while the public does not exert pressure on leaders to address the issue. The concept of necropolitical ecology highlights how government inaction and neglect—rather than direct oppression—result in preventable deaths, particularly among marginalized groups. This "silent violence" is exacerbated by urban bias, which deprioritizes rural safety concerns. Without governance reforms and public demand for safer roads, these issues will persist. The study suggests that applying this framework to Southeast Asia could help analyse road safety in similar authoritarian contexts. However, further research is needed to include victims' perspectives. -

Fruit and Diabetes
That’s right. Testing often is important. I was told only to eat fruit after a meal. Definitely not ripe bananas, full of sugar. Eat more green. Check each fruit you like for sugar count.
