SURVEY: Do you believe that Thailand is getting more dangerous for foreigners?

Your murder statistics tell nothing.

Subtract all the drunks and depressed about to commit suicide, then you get valid data.

Thailand's problem is alcohol and depressed Farangs.

Even AIDS shouldn't be a problem anymore. Everyone can get an HIV test before entering Thailand, and then use condoms. Or get a vasectomy and use PrEP if allergic against latex.

More dangerous for foreigners I do not know, but for most ThaiVisa members it becames for sure the most dangerous country in the world universe, moreover hundred times more dangerous nowadays than in the good old time!

So understandably after having fled the country the only Thailand's place they dare to patronise is this forum.

Baffling statistics fail to hide Thailand’s worrying gun crime problem

"IN January three people were shot and killed in Bangkok over what the Bangkok Post said was a, “long-standing dispute over parking.” Two women and a male neighbor who had intervened in the argument were killed by Thossaporn Pitakwattananon. In another long-standing feud, according to the Bankgkok Post, a gardener shot and killed a colleague at Thammasat University later in February.

Just this last weekend a reportedly “jealous lover” shot and killed his girlfriend in a Bangkok shopping mall, and immediately after the man shot himself in the head. A nine-year-old girl was hit in the face by a stray bullet.

These incidents happened just a few months following reports of Thailand’s high per capita gun murder rate, reportedly higher than that of the U.S. and three times higher than Cambodia’s murder rate".

Well, getting reliable numbers out of Cambodia, is a bit like getting reliable numbers out of Burma or China. It just does not happen, with the despot leader Hun Sen. I have heard gun deaths are on par with the US, which says alot. But, unlike Central America, and the Philippines, and Venezuela, it is mostly local. Fortunately it is mostly Thai on Thai. May it remain that way forever. Please.
