Thailand is 84^th in a global ranking of the best and worst countries for children to grow up in, putting it ahead of regional neighbours like Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar, a new report from Save the Children reveals. 

The ranking positions Thailand in the top half of the ledger, however, many migrant children living in Thailand are having their childhoods cut short in large numbers, especially because of their lack of access to education. 

Monday 8th May, Bangkok – Save the Children is calling for new school regulations making motorbike helmets mandatory when traveling to and from school across the country as Global Road Safety Week begins, and following another deadly Songkran period on Thailand’s roads.

Road accidents remain the second leading cause of death for children in Thailand, especially motorcycle accidents, which account for more than 70 percent of all road deaths.

Ba-ngo Patae, a small village lays deep in the heart of Ruso district Narathiwat province. The village is 70 kilometres from Narathiwat city, surrounded by green leafy rubber farm where majority of population are rubber tappers. The distance does not make the village disconnected to the modernisation, back before 2013 children and youth in the village spent their leisure time at a local arcade. In local context, the arcade does not serve as it should be, it is where drug dealers meet their customers which mostly are youth. This issue had been one of the most serious issues among children and youth in Ba-ngo Patae village.
