A tourist dies tragically and unnecessarily in Thailand of unnatural causes every day and for Australians in particular, "The Land of Smiles" (which becomes an oxymoron for the victim's families) is the deadliest destination of them all! But why should you care? Because it may be someone you know that suffers a tragedy there next. I know a mother in Australia who had to go with her husband and two children to Thailand in order to pick up her 24 year old daughter in a body bag. Needless to say the family will never return to the country. British subjects also die with alarming frequency in the country, in almost every way imaginable. It's necessary to get the word out on the nature of the myriad of key tourist fatality factors, so people can learn the truth about what's really happening..

I read this as we were en route to Thailand and it definitely affected decisions we made!!!! It was great to have the heads up and learnt a great deal about how Thai culture is vastly different from Western so you can easily misunderstand gestures or situations! Initially, I did wonder why the hell we were going there, but stupidity does seem to play a part, such as drink driving. Nonetheless, we were unaware of the high death stats in Thailand and how much is swept under the carpet. Even more shocking is how the authorities assume how people have died, no autopsy in some cases, and will put suicide down despite overwhelming evidence to suggest it was not! An extremely important read, this highlights huge problems, not just affecting tourists but the people themselves such as human trafficking. Media silence is shocking, so people like the author and the journalists at Phuketwan, deserve medals!!!
From the Author
April 28, 2016What is interesting is that tourists keep flocking to Thailand in ever-greater numbers.That the number of Australian tourists is down slightly over the first quarter of 2016 means little to nothing to T.A.T. (Tourist Authority of Thailand) - as long as the Chinese keep coming in ever-increasing numbers, all is well.
But at least 35 Chinese drowned on Phuket alone in 2015 - so you better believe that the official Thai tourist deaths (around 90) reported in 2015 by T.A.T. is utter BUNK. Why the mirage? That's the million dollar question! And we all know the answer!Regular Thais are generally left in the dark. I have a very rich Thai relative by marriage - the 40 year old owns a huge aluminum plant in Bangkok, and was educated in Australia.When I asked him if he was aware that Thailand had the second most dangerous roadways in the world by statistic (and these statistics are skewed way low by the way -rendering Thailand with the most dangerous roadways in the world) - he had no bloody idea. He said.. "Noooo..really?"
And you have to be very careful when you tell Thais the truth - and it doesn't fit their perception,hence their reality - 'cause the truth hurts, and Big Faces get lost - a deadly proposition in Thailand. It boggles the mind. Just ask Andrew Drummond about that one.. He was forced to leave the country for telling the truth..and his website is still blocked in Thailand most of the time..
Don't get me wrong, I like Thai people, but something is grossly amiss in the LOS..
"Jing Jing"..( it's the truth )
From the Inside Flap
Thailand's roads second deadliest in the world: World Health Organization October 21, 2015 Thailand has earned the dubious distinction as the country with the second most dangerous roads in the world.
According to the 2015 Global Status Report of Road Safety by the World Health Organization (WHO), 14,059 people were killed in Thailand by road accidents in 2012 which is about 36.2 people per 100,000 -- the second highest rate in the world.
To put that in perspective, that's about 39 people per day who die on our country's treacherous roads.
Watch the Coconuts TV documentary on Thailand's annual Songkran road death crisis: youtube.com/watch?v=870qANOVTVw
With 32,476,977 vehicles registered in Thailand, riders of motorcycles and three-wheelers are by far the largest group to be killed in road accidents (73%) followed by passengers of 4-wheeled cars (7%) and drivers of 4-wheeled cars (6%).
This might result from the lack of safety precautions. WHO noted that Thailand's national seat-belt law only applies to the driver and passenger in the front seats. The study finds that only 58% of drivers and 54% of front seat occupants use a seatbelt.
As many residents rely on motorcycle-taxis, which usually don't provide a helmet for their passengers, the helmet-wearing rate shockingly falls to only 20% for passengers and 52% for the drivers.
As for drunk-driving, 26% of all road deaths can be attributed to alcohol.
Meanwhile, Libya scored the highest percentage with 73.4 deaths per 100,000 people and the African region continued to have the highest road traffic death rates. Europe has the lowest death rate as many of its high-income countries have been found successful at achieving and sustaining reductions in death rates.
Globally, an estimate of 1.25 million people die each year as a result of road traffic crashes. Road traffic death rates in low- and middle-income countries are more than double those in the high-income countries.
"Road traffic fatalities take an unacceptable toll - particularly on poor people in poor countries," says Dr. Margaret Chan, Director-General of WHO.
However, the number of road traffic deaths is stabilizing even though the number of motor vehicles worldwide has increased rapidly, as has the global population. In the last three years, 79 countries have seen a decrease in the absolute number of fatalities while 68 countries have seen an increase. bangkok.coconuts.co/2015/10/21/thailands-roads-second-deadliest-world-world-health-organization

Informative. Tedious. Helpful.
By T. Yiu
It is really informative. However, the book is too long. I try to finish every book that I start reading and this book seems to take forever.
I could have finished reading two novels with the same time frame.
This book tells the readers all we need to know about the dangers in Thailand. (Death by Traffic, Electricity, Law Enforcement (or the lack of), Scams, Prisons, and more) The author has a new book came out in 2016 with the title "Of Unnatural Causes: Too Many Tourists Die in Thailand". Both book seem to have similar content. I wonder what is the difference.
Through another book about Thailand, Allan Dudson wrote in "Walking the wild side: The life of a sex tourist". That book briefly mentioned two murder cases on foreigners happened in front of the author, Allan Dudson, during his visit to Thailand. And he was only a tourist. Both murder cases were triggered by arguments among local Thai and foreigners. People sometimes don't realize it is a big issue when foreign tourists are killed (accidentally or not) in Thailand.
Bottom line is this book is really helpful to tourists who want to visit Thailand.

The title sells it but don't let it fool you.
By Mark Bigelow
95% fluff. The 2 or 3 summary pages at the end are all you need.

Very pleased to see this work published
By John Williams
I felt very much out on a limb when I wrote Thailand: Deadly Destination. I am very pleased to see this work published. As the author says, if his efforts save one life the book was worth it. He is correct that tourists die in Thailand every day of the year. However there has been very little serious work done on the worst scandal in the annals of modern tourism, the high death rate and large number of mishaps befalling foreigners while on Thai soil. D. Farang may not be a professional writer, but he does a much better job than most journalists who visit Thailand; they are on junkets funded by the tourist industry itself and write nothing but syrupy copy about how fabulous their hotel was; entirely ignoring the mayhem on the streets. By failing to warn visitors about the realities of Thailand they are part of an industry which is luring naive tourists to their deaths. Fore-warned may be fore-armed, as the author writes, but you don't have to be behaving badly or stupidly to get into trouble in Thailand. Many ordinary tourists, be they young backpackers looking for a place to party and relax, families, or older tourists with a twinkle in their eye, find themselves being threatened, blackmailed, bashed, drugged, robbed and killed.
Thailand is an ever fascinating country with an intriguing culture and many stunning landscapes. But the environmental degredation, social dislocation and increasing alienation between Thais and foreigners caused by the greed and mismanagement of the nation's tourist industry has been sad to witness. That Thailand can be a very dangerous place is not in doubt; and while the author uses a pseudonym, as he spends a good deal of time in Thailand I would strongly advise him to remove his image from the internet. He is correct Thai authorities deliberately suppress bad news about deaths and misadventures befalling foreigners; but many other countries are complicit in the scandal. For instance, outrageously the US State Department, which collects vast amounts of data about every country on Earth, officially refuses to release statistics on the number of Americans dying in Thailand each year. The author is entirely correct when he writes: "Violent attacks, substandard road infrastructure, killings resulting from cultural misunderstandings, foreigner suicides, suppression of fatality figures and lax safety standards have all ratcheted up safety concerns in Thailand. An indirect, albeit dire warning has been issued to tourists! The warning doesn't come from Thai Tourism, but from reported and unreported fatalities, from the cry of hapless victims that didn't see it coming, and from the many foreign governments and embassies urging the Thai government to act."
