News24xx.com - The latest report published by World Health Organization (WHO) reveals that Thailand’s street safety is the worst in Asia, and is placed in sixth place globally.
The new data shows that the death rate per 100,000 is 32.7. It is an improvement from 2015, where it was 36.2 but not much. The data reveals that an average 22,491 people are killed in Thailand’s roads every year.

The report was released on Friday, containing the data taken from 175 countries. In Southeast Asia alone, Thailand is the country with the worst road safety, followed by Vietnam (26.4 deaths) and Malaysia (23.6 deaths). Singapore is the country with the safest road, having only 2.8 death rates.
Globally, Thailand does not fare much better. The country is at the sixth place in the list of the countries with the highest estimated road traffic death rate in the world. Other than Thailand, Venezuela and Saint Lucia, the list is dominated by African countries like Liberia, Zimbabwe and Burundi.
The report reveals that road traffic death rate keeps rising. Traffic incidents now kill more people than HIV/AIDS or tuberculosis.
Although Thailand’s roads are dangerous all year round, they are especially deadly in April during Thai New Year known as “Songkran”. Every April, the number of death rates skyrocketed. There is a short documentary by Coconut TV that shows how Thailand’s roads literally become the most dangerous places on Earth during the holiday.
