KhunBENQ Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 There have always been lists/maps about crime hotspots in Bangkok. Nice one from 2022 found at Bangkok Post. Not allowed to link here. Google for "bangkok crime map" and you should see it. Worst "Bang" is Bang Rak. There were list from police with roads prone to drug dealing, petty crime...

I think I saw a sign warning of pickpocket thieves in Sukhumvit Soi 11 or nearby. They should add another sign warning about aggressive ladyboys. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreFarang Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 This is the entrance to one of the slum areas in Bangkok. In the unlikely event that anybody would walk into that entrance area it is pretty obvious that you should stay out - even if there is no sign. I bring my gf from time to time to that entrance on my bike. She visits an old woman there and brings her sometimes food and medication. I guess by now they know her and "know" me. A short visit at daytime is no problem. But I wouldn't go in there alone at night. Would bad things happen? I don't know. But it looks sinister enough to forget about any adventures.

NativeBob Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 On personal experience: Klong Toey, Huay Kwang around market area, used to be Pratunam. Indeed Samut Prakan and Bang Kapi slums. those are "no go zones" at night. During day Bangkok is very safe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never felt unsafe in Thailand except two or three times I was menaced by farangs In US some places unless you come to a spot buy drugs and quickly leave you would be lucky to get out of there in your underwear. Meaning the locals take your clothes and shoes even if they like them. Parts of Newark NJ comes to mind. Edited May 12 by Captain Monday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just scary groups of drunk and agitated men shouting and calling thai insults + few english slurs. I was lucky to distance myself. From 11 PM many places of BKK don't look safe.

I will try to contact this Thai guy and ask him EXACTLY where this place is that has *bandits" after 9pm demanding 20 baht for him to go through!! I'm fascinated by this place that this hotel clerk has to be home by 9pm because of "bandits" And we will ALL meet there and go there for the next ASEAN members party 🎉 Edited May 12 by georgegeorgia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Areas with tourists or foreigners are not worth mentioning, like a lot of newbie clowns in this comment section are trying to say. You really know nothing or are just deceitful.

kevozman1 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Without becoming boring I just want people to know where you are. Thailand usually has a higher murder rate than nearly every European country every year. I really like Thailand, have done for 20 years, but it's not Switzerland or Japan. Exercise caution and no, your biggest threat is not foreigners, but Thais, unless you roll out of bed into a foreigner promoted bar everyday and that's your (sad) life. That's the reality. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
