Thailand has the highest gun death rate in Asia

Yet again a failure for Thailand to have this honor (most gun deaths in Asia and third place in the world).
As with the number of road deaths (most in the world), it remains a matter of mentality. Most Thais can't make a risk analysis: what happens if I do this? The cause and effect is unknown to them, which leads to so many deaths in traffic and in quarrels (firearm deaths).

Let's put things into perspective on the basis of the extremely informative link that was recently added to the article about the development of the Thai population. There we don't find 'firearms' listed separately as the cause of death, but I assume they fall under 'violence' – violence – and whether you are shot, stabbed or beaten doesn't really matter.
Thailand then ranks 73rd worldwide (out of 172 countries), with 6.98 per 100.000.
Laos at 75 with 6.66.
Cambodia at 78 with 6.48.
The difference with these last two countries is therefore negligible.
India is at 83 with 5.75, together with New Guinea at 81 with 5.87, not really much safer either.
Vietnam is doing a lot better, 108th with 3.24.
The Philippines 25th with 18.56, closely followed by
Myanmar (isn't that also Asia?), in 29th place with 15.29.
.
My conclusion: Thailand is in the middle both globally and regionally, and does not deviate significantly from what could be expected on the basis of sociological, demographic and geographical data.
