So much violence in Mexico that's its a tie with Brazil.

Expats concerned about "violence" in Thailand are running out of options

No mention of midget ladyboys

 

Edit: Sorry I meant vertically challenged ladyboys

Maybe, but violence just gets the headlines.  Traffic deaths rack up the body count.

 

I've driven in Mexico.  I've driven in Thailand.  As long as it's in the daytime, give me Mexican traffic any day.  After dark, it's about a tie for white knuckles.  

Sydney Greenstreet ran his Blue Parrot  similarly.

 

 

 

Despite the headlines about violence in Mexico, it is still a much safer destination for tourists and expats than Thailand.

I think this is a very rare incidence of violence in a tourist area in Mexico, They take their tourism much more serious there than here in Thailand. In Mexico if a bartender etc. even gets in an argument with a tourist he/she will be gone the next day. Ive seen it happen. I like Thailand better for other reasons but violence and crime in tourist areas is much worse here.
