Safe? Ha. I was in Chalong Villa Market a couple of days ago when a Russian swaggering around ended up in a bloody fistfight with an Eastern European. Trashed the shelves and sent the staff screaming before the blood started flying. Took over 30 minutes for the cops and ambulance to turn up. The hospital is literally over the road from the supermarket and Chalong police box 5 mins slow walk.
