astral Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 (edited) Astral, I don't know which European city you're from, but if you are from UK as I guess, then Thailand leaves it in the shade for murder rates and I would guess, rape rates, although as someone else has pointed out, most rapes in LOS go unreported so the figs mean little. We are mainly talking about media hype here. I am from the UK and I feel a lot safer walking around in Thailand than I do in the UK. For a second opinion see Uma~~'s comments. Since you feel the figures for Thailand are inaccurate, I am not sure how you make the comparison? How well do you know Thailand? It has been my home for the last 20 years!!

TAWP Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 It has been my home for the last 20 years!! Then one might question how well you know UK [being as you haven't been living there for many years]. Jokes aside, I do however feel more safe walking in Bangkok at night then any average city in my homeountry. But that might becouse here I don't see many streetgangs of specific cultural backgrounds that are wandering around and making live hard for everyone...
