MrTee Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Once in Columbia I was told "Don't show the papaya"Since then I've kept all my fruit well and truly hidden..I'm sure you get the meaning.. don;t go showing off your assets, gold or otherwise. Like anywhere else in the world women, and men for that matter, need to keep their wits about them. carrying yourself with confidence and purpose will deter most dodgy types.But if you walk around with an expensive handbag over your shoulder then someone will think to take it from you . but, sadly, that's the same anywhere While I find Thais friendly, trustful and helpful, there are always some bad apples. hone you senses to sniff these types out at the earliest opportunity. Best option would be to find some nice females/ or guys, you feel comfortable with, and go out a few times with them to get the feel for the place.Stay safe and be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brevity Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 "Once in Columbia I was told "Don't show the papaya"" LOL Yes, I think 'papaya' is now called 'bling'. Just use some common sense and do some research on the internet about scams and potentially dangerous situations. For example, DO NOT rent a jet-ski, especially in Pattaya or Phuket. Don't accept (unsealed) drinks from strangers, Don't get into a taxi or on motorcycle taxi alone late at night, et, etc, etc........you know, just plain common sense. If something doesn't feel right, walk away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kirstymelb101 Posted January 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) When it comes to safety measures just use your common sense !It's easy to fall victim or seen as a potential target because we're female. You're more likely to be scammed than robber - IMODon't EVER get in a taxi alone during late hours of the nightor accept a fixed price..Always be aware of your surroundings! Do research before going to any place. Many danger zones to stay well away from.Don't walk in a back soi late hrs alone, especially if you don't know the area.

khunPer Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 In general – and the counts for males as well – you don’t need to flash wealth like gold, jewels and an expensive wrist watch. Safer to keep valuable belongings, including passport or ID and ATM-cards, in a belt-bag than carrying a hand bag, which you always need to keep an eye on if you put it somewhere. And properly most important, as Kirstymelb says in #8: »use your common sense…!« It also depends of where you are or where you walk. In crowded areas risk of pick pockets but safe from assault and robbery; in trafficked streets risk of a bag getting snapped by a passing motorbike; in less crowded areas or remote dark sidewalks, perhaps avoid to walk all alone. Some places beware of what you drink and whom you mingle with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinBoy2 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I think my wife is fairly typical of a Thai female. Woe betide any man that tried to accost her. Hell Hath no Fury like a Thai woman! Maybe thats why male-female violence is lower than in other countries I lived in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
