Safety in bangkok by carlyle1979

Whats safety like in bangkok? Do people have the fear of being mugged while walking on the road in late evening or while in mall basement parking? Is living in a townhouse safe? I have gone through numbeo.com, which gives a safety quotient, but I'd ...

Megan and Craig

I think Bangkok is pretty safe. Just don't walk around waving a wad of cash, you'll be fine. I haven't felt unsafe in the 2.5 years I've lived here. Read More
