I'd walk the streets of Thailand day or night without worry, not so the UK, especially London. Agree. From what I read a out foreigners getting attacked here I. Thailand it seems the vast number of cases is down to the influence of drugs or alcohol and usually late at night in a bar area and the foreigner is acring aggressive and starting the altercation from their behaviour. I have lived here nearly 20 years and socialise mostly with Thai locals and never encounter a problem. However in the UK I have been in bad situations many times die to drink idiots getting aggressive and looking for a fight. Also muggings and knife crime are far far more common I the UK than here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers you show are correct for the charts. However, those charts are from 2002. Twenty year old charts don't reflect present day, especially for America. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but go on the roads of Thailand and the tables turn very quickly. horses for courses and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will B Good Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Ha!.....My 'Thai cousins' have just returned from Cambodia......none of them have a passport. I asked the wife how do they cross country to country?......She explained they work for the Chinese who send a photo of each of them to the border guards along with a description of the clothes they will be wearing (plus a wodge of cash).....job done.
