Over the past few years, traffic accidents in Thailand have become a serious problem, and not only for local residents. Over the past month and a half, 80 tourists have died and nearly 3,000 tourists have been injured. Such high numbers in such a short period of time are particularly alarming.
According to the accident information center Thai RSC, traffic violations are the main cause of accidents in Thailand. In particular, many foreign tourists violate traffic rules, do not use protective equipment and drive without a driver's license.
The Thai authorities will take more serious measures to ensure the safety of tourists and regulate traffic in dangerous areas. For example, they will install more efficient speed control systems, conduct regular vehicle inspections, and make information available in different languages about traffic rules in the country.
Road accidents are a serious threat to Thailand's tourism industry, which is an important part of the country's economy. Therefore, effective measures will soon be taken to protect tourists and maintain road safety.
A high-profile scandal has erupted in the resort Phuket after two wealthy tourists from New Zealand went on a rampage and assaulted a police officer.
