Compare Phuket districts, including local road-death rates and source-linked safety context.
Coverage is Phuket province, all three districts (Mueang Phuket, Kathu including Patong, Thalang). Districts are large administrative areas, not beaches or hotel streets. Road deaths 2021-2024 (Buddhist Era 2564-2567) from the DDC Ministry of Public Health integrated three-database road-death records, assigned by accident district (acc_dist), or, when blank, by accident coordinates inside Phuket district boundaries. Many 2021-2023 Phuket records lack any accident location and are excluded (counts in provenance facts), so absolute rates are understated; only relative district rates are used. Denominator: WorldPop R2025A constrained 2024 population (100 m model estimate, includes non-registered residents but not short-stay tourists) summed in each district; four-year person-years. Rates per 100,000 per year are shrunk toward the Phuket rate with a Gamma-Poisson prior of 10 deaths. Only mobility varies locally; the citywide estimate and other dimensions use Thailand national research priors. No clearly licensed district flood-hazard layer was found for Phuket (JRC global maps exclude small islands; the Phuket DDPM 2025 village flood-event list is a single-year event log, not a hazard map), so disaster_and_environment keeps the national prior.

- European Commission and United Nations partners · Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System events API
alerts are not long-term baseline risk; event footprint may not equal traveler exposure; alert severity cannot be copied directly into Safrom score
- European Commission Joint Research Centre and INFORM partners · INFORM Risk Index 2026
country-level only; humanitarian risk framing differs from traveler exposure; composite inputs can overlap Safrom dimensions; current event conditions require separate signals
- UNODC via World Bank World Development Indicators · Intentional homicides per 100,000 people
country-level only; reporting and justice-system differences; latest year differs by country; not traveler-specific
- WHO/OECD/country data via World Bank World Development Indicators · Physicians per 1,000 people
country-level only; availability does not measure emergency accessibility; latest year differs by country; distribution within a country is hidden
- World Health Organization · Road traffic mortality rate per 100,000 population
country-level only; collection is not annual for every country; some values are modeled estimates; resident exposure differs from traveler exposure
- U.S. Department of State · U.S. State Department travel advisory and guidance: Thailand
most statistics remain country-level; U.S.-traveler perspective; advisory level is not an absolute safety score; Bangkok conditions differ from border and southern-province warnings
- World Bank · Worldwide Governance Indicators: Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism
country-level only; modeled perceptions rather than traveler incidents; cannot represent neighborhood variation or current events; confidence intervals must not be discarded
