   My god! You’re American and on the motorbike too as I can see from your other blogs… Be very careful not to make the list! We don’t need any more unnecessary loss of valuable life.

   Don’t expect any accountability in thailand ‘It is a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time” two seconds sooner or later would have made the difference in life and death.

   Mary, my sincere condolences I offer…
   Regarding accountability, every one needs to face their demons
   some day, inevitably certain.

   Many foreigner deaths by homicide are under-reported or misreported as drug overdose, etc by Thai authorities to avoid the adverse effect on tourism.

   Here are some statistics that demonstrate that Thailand is a dangerous place:

   As per the Global Peace Index 2008:

   Thai vs USA

   Number of homicides per 100,000 people 3 : 2

   Level of violent crime 4 : 1

   Level of organized conflict (internal) 3 : 1

   Overall rank 2008 1-140 (1 most peacful) 118 : 97

   As per WHO:

   Heavy vehicle driver collision with car, pickup, van *

   Rank Countries Amount (top to bottom)

   #1 Ecuador: 185 deaths

   #2 Thailand: 48 deaths

   #3 Mexico: 15 deaths

   #4 Venezuela: 6 deaths

   #5 Korea, South: 6 deaths

   Unspecified drowning and submersion (per capita)

   World Ranking Deaths per 1 million people (numbers rounded to nearest whole digit)

   #1 Belize: 64

   #2 Thailand: 56

   #3 Cayman Islands :45

   #4 Kyrgyzstan: 44

   #5 El Salvador: 42

   As per the OECD Factbook 2007: Economic, Environmental and Social Statistics for 2005, road fatalities/million population for Italy and the US were 90 and 145 respectively. As per the Department of Highways of Thailand, road fatalities for the same period were 504 (per million population)! That’s almost 6 times the fatality rate in Italy for the same year.

   The homicide with firearms rates in Thailand are equally as staggering. Based on the 8th UN survey 2002, Thailand rated 3rd in the world for murders with firearms, surpassed only by Columbia and South Africa. On a per capita basis, Thailand’s murder rate was approximately 6 times that of the US. Thailand’s murder rate (all causes) was double that of the US.

   Whatever the number … anyway it is comical as there are just a few for a metropole as Bangkok that is a very small number. There is no safer place as Bangkok.
