romain22 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I have always wondered how dangerous was really Thailand? Every day I have been receiving these email/news from www.thaivisa.com and every day, it seems that a least one foreigner dies in Thailand. For years I was wondering about the real number of foreigners that passed away in Thailand on a daily basis, and this article I read recently mentioned that according to a Report made by the UK government,Thailand was the most dangerous country in the whole world with about one Brit dying on the spot almost every single day! And that does not includes other nationalities.. just crazy :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) My French is less than good so I can't do much with your link. Thailand 2015 - The Most Dangerous Country in the World? No, nonsense. just crazy :? Yes, somewhat. Where there are disproportionately many old people, people with health issues, pensioners (untypical age structure) there will be a higher death rate, don't you think so? The expat population does not represent a typical home country population. Edited July 21, 2016 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mousehound Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 If there are 10 000 expats in Thailand (I have no idea how many there really are) and the average age is as low as 60 then if you give them a generous average 25 years to live there would be an average of one death per day anyway. (the actuarial math would be lower than this I am sure but it is beyond me) The death rate for tourists is possibly higher than their own country most likely because they are out of their comfort zone and put themselves at risk. I take many more risks in Thailand than I do in my home country. But my star burns a lot brighter in Thailand and even if it is shorter lived, I prefer that brief spark. I can assure you, having lived and worked in Somalia, New Guinea and New York I feel safer in Thailand. In fact I feel safer in Thailand than my present home in Australia and safer than in many parts of the UK I have lived - especially Glasgow. My advise is to stop listening to doomsayers. News is all about fear - it attracts attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxo1947 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) ....either in Bangkok or elsewhere in the territory, to ask them how much was the total number of deaths that was listed in Thailand in 2015. to our surprise, out of the 59 contacted, only 6 responded figures at hand: New Zealand, Denmark, Argentina, Sweden, the UK, the States United. For others, a good half never replied So 6 out of 59 countries replied to this French web Blog that you are saying is a UK newspaper.............come on if you want to give Thailand a good kicking , surely you can think up something better than that....................... Yes as quoted its very dangerous here----better that you leave ASAP.....or if you don't live here, give it a complete miss.

klauskunkel Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 This article of yours "Thailand 2015 - The Most Dangerous Country in the World" mixes freely the numbers of violent deaths with the numbers of natural deaths without real distinction. Only the American numbers are solely attributed to violent death (which can also be road accident and suicide, to keep in mind) at one per nine days. For all the other countries, I didn't read any distinction as to the causes. That being said, looking at the "one Brit a day dies in Thailand" statement, which infers that this makes Thailand the most dangerous country for Brits, I believe that statistically many more Brits die in the UK daily, therefore by the same logic is the UK the most dangerous country for Brits? Anyway, the article is crap and you really shouldn't let crap disturb your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
