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

However, those charts are from 2002. Twenty year old charts don't reflect present day, especially for America. 1

Yes, but go on the roads of Thailand and the tables turn very quickly. horses for courses and all that.

Will B Good Posted January 3, 2023 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.
