How safe is Thailand?
Bangkok
I was extremely vigilant so nothing happened to me, but usually people are fine and I havenāt heard of really bad things happening to tourists. However, a random gun crime happened here around my time of travel but I think that happens anywhere in the world

For me personally, as a local here I need to admit that Thailand is not the safest place, nor the most convenient place. However, due to Thai people habits weāre always helping each other and also help the tourists, so I would say that in Bagkok, Thailand is moderately safe.

I think it safe and have a lot of culture. I think everyone must been here once in a lifetime. Have lots of foods esp street food. They are delicious and cheap. You can use bts (skytrain) to travel around the city.

It's pretty safe place, but u should be careful anyway. Maybe I have an anxiety, but I can't tell it's 100% safe. AND someone stole my friends headphones(he left it in cafe), but police did nothing ofcourse

I used to walk at night and felt very safe. There is a super low crime level and tourist police always check in so the whole community is very good there especially for foreigners as there arenāt many you wonāt be a target.

I was really afraid going to Thailand as a solo female traveler but it was a really safe place to be. In Chiang Mai I felt always safe and people are kind, they didnāt want to ask for more money. Even in the night when I walked several times, I didnāt have any problems. Especially in the Old town.

It was awesome and well worth the trip. We got to snorkel all over the island and saw amazing fish at every spot. We both think itās the best island we went to in Thailand and would recommend it to anyone traveling there!
