Is Bangkok a safe place ?
♫ August 2nd, 2011 6:51 am“In comparison to other major cities around the world, Bangkok is very safe and, in all probability, you will have no problem even if walking alone at night. Nevertheless, it always pays to use common sense and it’s worth remembering you are likely a lot richer than the average Thai – don’t flaunt it.
A bigger problem are the various types of scams and stealth crime that you will likely encounter – watch out in particular for smooth talking con artists and talented pickpockets that operate in crowded conditions such as markets and the Bangkok buses. Keeping your your wallet or purse in a money belt can be helpful at preventing the the thieves.”
