The survey report, “Motorcycle Helmet-Wearing Rates in Thailand, 2019,” was produced with support from the Thai Health Promotion Foundation (ThaiHealth). Its primary objective is to provide an overview of current motorcycle helmet-wearing practices across provinces and regions throughout Thailand. The findings can serve as baseline data for monitoring and evaluating measures aimed at increasing helmet use among motorcycle riders and passengers, including law enforcement, public awareness campaigns, public relations activities, and other related initiatives.
The information presented in this report was collected through an observational survey of motorcycle helmet-wearing behavior on roads across Thailand in 2019. The survey covered all 77 provinces and was conducted from June to December 2019.
The project was jointly implemented by the Thailand Accident Research Center (TARC) and the Road Safety Watch network, in collaboration with university partners across the country’s regions. These partners included the Thailand Accident Research Center at the Asian Institute of Technology; the Faculty of Engineering at Naresuan University; the Institute of Engineering at Suranaree University of Technology; the Logistics Engineering program at the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Science, Sisaket Rajabhat University; the Faculty of Logistics at Burapha University; the School of Engineering and Resources at Walailak University; and the Faculty of Industrial Technology at Nakhon Phanom University.
