Drowning Statistics for Thai Kids January – June 2013

The latest statistics have just been released for Thai children under the age of 15 who drowned between January and June 2013. The total this year so far is 63 deaths:

January: 9 deaths
February: 8 deaths
March: 12 deaths
April: 9 deaths
May: 4 deaths
June: 21 deaths

It seems strange that so many children drowned last month when only 9 drowned during the height of the summer holidays in April. You would think that the long holidays would see the most deaths.
