ROAD SAFETY

- JEAN TODT MICHAELA FRIBERG-STOREY

Unite for safer roads in Thailand

Thailand has recently taken a decisive step to protect lives on the road: since the beginning of June 2025, authorities have stepped up enforcement of the helmet law for both motorcycle riders and passengers, with fines of up to 2,000 baht per person for non-compliance. By enforcing helmet-wearing laws, the Royal Thai Police is sending a clear message: wearing a helmet is not a suggestion — it is the law, and laws are meant to be followed. This one, in particular, saves lives.

The United Nations in Thailand warmly welcomes this initiative and commends the Royal Thai Government for prioritising road safety as a matter of public health and development.
