Traffic Accident Statistics for Thailand

Deaths/100,000/year (an international standard for comparisons) and total actual number of deaths in Thailand, due to traffic accidents, (possibly contrary to intuition), have been declining since 2003. A prominent rather unexplained drop occurred between 2009 and 2010. If these numbers hold true (see buttom of this page), then Thailand has made great progress in reducing traffic deaths in recent years.
