Thai Health Promotion Foundation Launches Road Safety Newsroom

On October 21, 2026, the Thai Health Promotion Foundation (ThaiHealth) officially launched RSN10 (Road Safety Newsroom), a digital media outlet focused exclusively on road safety issues. Kongkarn Takhiranrit, Director of the Office of Social Risk Factor Control, presided over the launch event at the ThaiHealth headquarters.

This initiative is part of a broader strategy to reduce traffic-related accidents by 50% by the year 2030. For two decades, ThaiHealth has collaborated with various partners, including the Thai Road Safety Network, the Don't Drive Drunk Foundation, and the Thailand Accident Research Center, to develop knowledge and drive policy changes. The new newsroom aims to serve as a centralized hub for information, coordinating with local networks, academic institutions, and civil society organizations to promote safer road conditions across the country.

For residents and travelers, this development signifies a more structured approach to public awareness regarding road hazards. While the platform intends to improve safety communication, the specific operational impact on daily traffic enforcement or infrastructure changes remains to be seen. The project relies on the continued cooperation of multiple sectors, including the Department of Disease Control and various local administrative organizations, to achieve its ambitious long-term reduction targets.
