Anyone who thinks that Thailand is a violent place for 'domestics' should read the UK news over the last couple of weeks. Every day seems to bring news of a mutiple family fatal shooting or random fatal stabbing. I need to get out of this madhouse and back to the relative sanity of Thailand!

+1, I arrived back in the UK on boxing day and the news was full of domestics, murders, stabbings etc. There was even a fatal stabbing in a shop in the boxing day sales.

Wish I had stayed in Thailand
