Itās safe in the city but somewhere far away and remote from city might be some seedy place that doesnāt feel safe. Just try not to walk by urself where no people around. Most of thai are kind and respectful but ofc like anywhere else thereās still some bad seeds. Just be vigilant š«¶š»

i honestly feel overall safe but being a woman, youāre never too sure, women here seems really kind, iāve been here only for three days and i was never approached maliciously by a man, but there are streets a bit sketchy

Thailand is very safe. Itās one of the places you can walk around and not feel threatened. However never let your guard down just because it feels safe. Stay vigilant. I think Thailand is filled with amazing and kind people but thereās always unfortunately not so nice people everywhere

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.

There is so much to say about this marvellous country. Each city is different; the people are very kind, the food is amazing, and there are plenty of shopping places to discover and experiences to enjoy. Everything is easy to do, buy, find, and live. I definitely love this country.
