How safe is Bangkok?

I was extremely vigilant so nothing happened to me, but usually people are fine and I haven’t 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 we’re 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

Quite safe for females and solo travellers, literally i live and work here so in general the locals are amiable and help whenever you needed. I like to stroll alone at night sometime and it’s considered as a one of the capital city that is comfortable and secure.

You can travel alone because Thai people are very kind and polite. But you must maintain basic safety, such as not asking for directions from strangers, but only asking for directions from officials.

Loved my trip to Bangkok. It was my trip and a girl I felt so safe with the travel ladies app. Thankyou for the experience and memories. I wish to visit again. I gained a girlfriend for life and it was so affordable the whole trip.

Solo travel

Many people say that bkk is really safe, but not at all. U should be careful while crossing the road and hide your important belongings. Police won't help u to find a thief, especially if u don't speak Thai
