Coverage is a district-level comparison of Chonburi province, where Pattaya lies (Pattaya City is inside Bang Lamung district). The 11 districts are administrative areas, not hotel neighbourhoods or Pattaya streets. Road deaths 2022-2025 (Buddhist Era 2565-2568, all 12 months each year) by district from the Chonburi provincial dashboard dataset (source: Chonburi Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Office annual reports). Yearly province totals vary (2022 695, 2023 1614, 2024 953, 2025 633), so definitions may differ between years; only relative district rates over the pooled four years are used. Denominator: WorldPop R2025A constrained 2024 population (100 m model estimate, includes non-registered residents) summed inside each district; four-year person-years. Rates per 100,000 per year are shrunk toward the province rate with a Gamma-Poisson prior of 10 deaths to damp small-number districts such as Ko Si Chang (1 death). Only mobility varies locally; the citywide estimate and other dimensions use Thailand national research priors. Tourist traffic exposure, crash location versus residence, and seasonal visitors are not separated.

Before choosing accommodation

  1. Locate your intended stay on the map and check whether that area has evidence.
  2. Read what drives the local differences. A citywide score and an area estimate answer different questions.
  3. Check current local advice and your transport options separately. These estimates cannot assess a specific hotel, street or time of day.
