    IS Thailand Safe?

    By Wally, Created on: 08/11/2008, Last updated on: 07/12/2008

    ยป Thailand is relatively safe, many of the statistics you cite are largely Thai-Thai. All countries have areas best avoided, Thailand is no different, but for the most part I think it is quite safe. Mind you this will vary depending whether you are in Chiang Mai or Pattaya.

    • John Doe commented : In my view and based on my personal experience from living here: YES, Thailand is safe. At least relatively safe. I don't fear being gunned down or robbed, I don't drive and expect to be killed. I've lived her for many years and have not had any of my Thai friends hurt by gunshots although a few have been killed in traffic. Statistics is a wonderful thing . . . how reliable is your source? The United Nations Survey of Crime (dated year 2000) ranked Thailand 14th in murders per capita (#1 was Colombia, #2 was South Africa, and 3# was Jamaica but USA was not on the list) and having visited Jo'burg several times, I must same I had a stronger sense of danger lurking there than I have had anywhere in Thailand.
