It’s a bustling city full of activity, yet if you look closely, there’s a surprising amount of peace. Most people go about their own lives, keeping to themselves and rarely noticing what others are doing.
Posted: August 28, 2025A big city yes. But safe compared to western counterparts, for sure! Bustling and lots going on but really it’s mostly tourist and locals trying to make their way. Of course be careful and witty but if you are westerner you will for sure be confident
Posted: August 28, 2025Bangkok is a pretty safe place for living, especially when you choose silom or thong lo areas to live. But I don’t recommend going to the poor locals areas at night, because it may be dangerous especially for the foreigner women.

i honestly feel overall safe but being a woman, you’re never too sure, women here seems really kind, i’ve been here only for three days and i was never approached maliciously by a man, but there are streets a bit sketchy
Posted: July 20, 2025I 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

We really enjoyed Bangkok, felt safe and for European it was really cheap. We stayed in old town area so getting around was mostly possible with shared rides, subway was too far away so would recommend staying near the subway if you’re interested in attending mall events :)
