Which One Is Safer ? Chiang Mai Or Bangkok

[IanForbes]

Statistics are for losers?

Do you have any mathmatical equations to back up such a claim?

It's a quote from baseball that Ian really should have put in quotes otherwise some people tend to get excited at remarks like that.

Yes, it's a quote from sports, and you can pick your sport... it applies to all of them. If you've got one foot in boiling water and the other in a bucket of Ice then the statistical average would show that you should be comfortable. I've been around a long time and heard all sorts of predictions based on statistics that have proven entirely false. Yes, statistics are useful up to a point, but they are just part of the equation.

[chiang mai]

Hmm, averages and statistics are not quite the same thing, the former being a subset of the latter. Using your example, the average of the two tempretures would produce a third and middle number which statistically would be meangingless!

OP.. what element of safety do you refer to

If it attack from hordes of locusts in biblical proportions then I think they will be about equal.

If its from trolls // goblins they stay away from bridges in both cities as they both have them.( Bridges I mean)

Razor cuts from shaving, spotted owl attacks, herpes, Lou Gehrigs disease when your name is not Lou Gehrig, being knocked out by an ice puck that breaks the safety glass,having your teepee collapse on you, attacked by marauding aztec indians, pygmies with blow darts, runway som tam carts, isotopes of hydrogen, nuclear fall out from japan, cigeratura poisoning , fires in high story hotels, fire in low hotels, return of Thaksin, a overthrow of the government by San Suu Kyi, having Justin Beiber try and barfine you, go go bar girls in short skirts, go go bar girls in long skirts, go go bar with no skirts, malaria, dysentery, ebola fever, Darth Vader, he who we cannot name, he who we cannot name's snake, mystical reappearance of Bing Crosby, finding out that the girls in Abba were really ladyboys, nude hippo races .... these are only on Thursdays in bangkok by the way.. finding out that you really do need to pay attention to the seat belt demonstration on a flight, finding yourself conscripted to building barns for the Amish, being mugged by Quakers...finding out that sex is dirty if your doing it right.

Please give us a term or reference so you might get some serious answers...otherwise some of us might just not take you too seriously and try and make fun.

[monty1412]

Metropolitan CM is around 1 mill. people whereas greater Bangkok is around 7 mill. (plus another 5 mill. transient workers) so statistically it is far safer.

Seems like a bit of a non-sequitor to me. There's one person on my pogo stick, forty peoople on the bus, and they're a lot safer than I am. I imagine the OP is concerned about the risk to himself, and he'll be one person whether he goes to Bangkok or Chiang Mai.

I think the answer is that no-one here knows, but they believe CM to be safer because it is more of a sleepy backwater, and the news coverage is probably not so good. Like me, they are not sufficiently interested to do the research and give you an objective answer.

Crime and accidents are typically rated on a per thousand or per hundred thousand basis, therefore, because there are twelve times more people in Bangkok than in Chiang Mai there are more crimes/accidents in Bangkok, ergo Chiang Mai is STATISTICALLY safer!

its ONLY statistically safer if you divide the accdients by the population and CM is still lower

although ,more planes fly into bkk than CMX ,so theres a greater risk of a plane landing on your house

How so Wana ? If there are more houses in Bkk then wouldn't this mitigate the risk such that your house is less unlikely to receive Thai airways maiden landing of the Airbus A300 ?

Lets say 5million house in Bangkok and 300 landings per day

Lets say 500,00 houses in CM and 50 landings per day

Not considering flight paths ( which by the way renders this exercise somewhat theoretical) then in BKK you have landings to house ratio of 0.00006 while in CM you have a ratio of 0.0001 ergo you have more chance in CM of receiving a plane landing on your house...

see what happens when someone posts a non specific query we all go off in tangents.. actually im supposed to be working but just deadly bored at present.

ahhh but those amongst you who are astute will notice the error... currently there are no Thai A300's flying into Chiang mai so i stand corrected for my mistake wana if it was indeed A300's that you meant then sir i but doth my cap for thou art correct....

I reckon Chaing Mai is safer, as I think Bangkok is at risk of nationalism, and could go the way of Saigon, with just little Bangkok Noi left on the Thonburi side, opposite the metropolis of Krungthep Mahanakhon

SC

Irrelevant and Off-topic Aside

I have a terrible penchant for confusing Thonburi and Chonburi, and once spent ages waiting for a train to Bangkok, letting at least two Thonburi trains go, thinking that they were of little use to me... I ended up spending six or seven hours on a 40 Bht 3rd class only, and eventually bailed out at Bang Sue to get the MRT.

That's the kind of evilly malicous and spiteful suggestion I have come to expect on this forum. Why can't you limit yourself to foul and profane abuse? I really see no cause for such personal vindictiveness.

Luckily I have my wits about me, and know when prudence should prevail over poltroonery

Im still consulting the Funk and Wagner about poltroonery..... yes the imagery of a pogo stick attack is a good one of course with a closing view of you hoping away through the crowds.. balloons merrily streaming behind you and young wanton maidens looking on with lustful, lavicisous looks in their eyes... one of the girls turns to camera and says.. I just love a man with a bouncy pogo.

In fact i think we are onto something here.. you know that guy in Sweden.. what was his name.. knight rider or hell rider... Street Cowboy how does "PogoBoy" sound . Dressed in leathers with a cap on with wording on jacket and emblem... I think we have just created a new superhero... able to leap school bags in a single boing.... god surely Hollywood must be missing me.

Leave it with me Street Cowboy I mean PogoBoy, after I figure out poltroonery Im working on your brand image...

After your last little gem of advice nearly got me killed, I'm not sure I'm entirely happy that you, Funk&Wagner are looking after my image. Glad to see you envisage me wearing a cap, though; I would not like the wording on the jacket to be "Itchy Member".

I suppose I should have used the dictionary before I used the word rather than after. It turns out poltroonery is not a synonym for buffoonery. Still, we learn something new every day, though we may seldom remember it past lunchtime

I would bet pounds to peanuts that by far the biggest determinant when it comes to accidents is your own behaviour.

If you are a risk taker, who drinks too much, pays for sex, smokes, eats the wrong foods, does not wear a seatbelt, and so on, it does not matter much whether you live in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, or on the moon.

On the other hand, if you are a sensible person, get plenty of exercise, live a moderate and temperate life you would probably have a far longer life expectancy than 99% of the posters on Thai Visa, no matter where you live.
