Met a really nice lady, she was a school teacher (educated!), which I knew meant she didn't need me to get to the USA, since several states are headhunting for Asian school teachers to fill vacancies. We hit it off, and fell for this beautiful Thai lady. After I had been in country for some time, I noticed that my GF's accent was a little different than other Thai's in Rayong. Thinking that perhaps she was from another part of Thailand (I am from Louisiana, where we have at least three regional accents ... country accent in the northern half of Louisiana, Cajun in the southern half, and in some parts of New Orleans, you'd swear you are in the Bronx! Oh yeah, then there's St. Bernard.... I don't know what kind of accent that is... anyway, I digress...)(and except for parts of New Orleans, our accents are pretty unique from the rest of the States), I asked her, "Your accent is a little different than the folks around here. What part of Thailand are you from originally?" She replied, "Oh! I am not from Thailand. I am from Philippines!" ........ Well, the story has a happy ending.

Around 5:35 he talks about wearing expensive jewelry etc. He's right, that's GREAT advise. For tourists this also applies to many places around the globe. "No Dar papaya" is a phrase in Colombia that means, "Putting yourself in a position where someone can take advantage of you." If it was translated literally it would mean don't give 'fruit/papaya' but it basically means don't put yourself into situations where you are more likely to be taken advantage of. Dressing more conservatively, not wearing expensive "looking" jewelry or flashing expensive iPhones makes you less of a 'target,' no matter where you are. Another translation we are more familiar with is, "don't get caught with your pants down."

I've been living here almost a decade now. Did had a few problems here and there but never with a Thai local. And to be honest I don't understand how one can have a problem with a local. They are (for the most part) extremely polite and respectful and as long as you are respectful and polite yourself you won't ever had any problems. I've always felt safe here no matter where I was in the country (I've been living in 10 different cities including Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Khon Kaen, Chiang Rai, etc..). The biggest mistake that Foreigners does (especially younger ones) is they tend to take the kindness of Thai for weakness which is a big no-no. Don't let it go into your head: Thais are very respectful but they have no problems at all turning it on if they feel disrespected. Thais public image is also very important for them. So if they feel disrespected (especially in public) you're gonna have problems. Beside that really it just all comes down to being respectful and treating people the way you would like to be treated. I've met countless of Thais people and friendship over the years and I have nothing but love for this beautiful country that I now call my second home.

[@jiejl30]

[@lerobshow6300]

@Ice Cream Wet Dream You ask me to be objective while you aren't. Obviously Thailand isn't safe EVERYWHERE. For example I would never recommend to anyone to go to the island of Kao Tao (around 15 white people died there in the last 8-10 years... alot of people think there's actually a serial killer there). Some places in Pattaya, Phuket aren't safe also. But I mean this is well known and well documented. Anyone that does a little bit of research will know. But if you live in downtown Bangkok or here in Chiang Mai or any big city (or even small for that matter) the chance of you running into trouble is very very very small. My hometown of Montreal is more dangerous than here and that's a fact. Alot of the major cities in the world (and coutries for that matter) are way more dangerous than here. I have no idea where you took your numbers to justify that Thailand is a ''notoriously dangerous spot''. This is absolutely wrong. Yes there is places to avoid (and unfortunately those are the places where the travellers goes the most and I don't know why because it's well known that's it's dangerous there). But if you go to Bangkok I can assure you that nothing will happen to you unless you really do something out of line. Apart suicides I've never heard of a foreigners getting murdered in Bangkok for decades now. If I was an Asian I would be way more worried about living in USA now than being a tourist in Thailand. I speak from life experience and I've been here for a decade. I live in a Thai neighborhood and I'm always surrounded by Thais people. They never did anything wrong to me. People need to do their research before they come because yes there is some dangerous places. But if you do your researchs and plan things in advance you shouldn't have to worry about anything. I live here. I travel the country ups and downs. I know what I'm talking about.

The causes of problems in Thailand are multiple, one of which is that Thai men naturally know what tourists do to their women. They feel jealous and want to protect their women from the tampering of tourists, and this is undoubtedly very natural. Therefore, tourists must have good morals and good behavior. The financial and social pressures they have and seeing their women with tourists makes the matter very complicated.

[@HugeKorgy]

The only thing to worry about in Thailand are the cab drivers especially the ones who are parked in front of the nicer hotels. They won't rob you. But, they will scam you. If you agree to one of their tours, they will drive you to places you don't want to go (ex. clothing store, floating markets) in order to get kick backs.Then you will find the price for the elephant ride and tiger picture are expensive and tied to the floating market.

I've been to Thailand several times and think I know how to stay out of trouble pretty well. Still, there have been two instances that were pretty sketchy. I'll just cover one of them. I got a ride from a tuktuk driver to go to the Patpong area. This guy went way off the beaten path though. I had no idea where I was. He took me to a place surrounded by trees, with a small parking lot and small building with what appeared to be a bouncer by the front door. There were no other buildings that I could see. I stupidly followed him through the entrance because I wanted to know what the Hell was going on. When I got in there, I was taken to another room. In that room there was a guy sitting on a couch, and across from him was a large window with several women behind it. Maybe 30 feet wide. They were scantily dressed, sitting on stools and their ages probably ranged from 16 to 40. He started asking me what I was looking for in a woman, and proceeded to tell me what each woman was good at (sexually). Then he told me how much they would cost me. This went on for about five minutes. I didn't say a word. I waited for him to finish. I then calmly asked him why I was brought here. He looked confused. He said I was there because I told the driver to take me. I told him that I hired the driver to take to Patpong. He told me to wait and he left the room. He came back in about ten minutes. Between that time I was getting nervous because it was just me and the other women, the bouncer, and that guy in the building (that I knew of). Moreover, I didn't know where the Fuk I was. He came back and apologized. He said another driver would take me to Patpong. When he walked me out to the parking lot, the tuktuk driver that brought me there was beaten severely. He was laying on the ground moaning and groaning. It looked like a group of guys jumped him.

I took the sky train in Bangkok one evening with a friend and our two Thai girls. We were a little tipsy from drinking Singha and yes, we were loud. Everyone in the train had their eyes fixed on their mobiles apart from the occasional corner eye stares. The following day during breakfast, the Thai girl I was with revealed that it's very rude to be loud in public places. She told me she was embarrassed when we took the train because firstly we were drunk and secondly, even if the locals are bothered, they may never tell you which hit hard as we had been partying so much and we were noisy in the wrong places. So adding to the list: Don't be noisy in your apartments, in the trains or even in public transport. In the hotels you can probably get away as you will be with your fellow travellers and the rest of the foreigners.

First time I came to Thailand is 41 years ago and except for a stolen wallet (on the first day I was here) never ever anything happened to me. On the contrary, I travelled to many places around the world and there is no place where I have been treated better than Thailand. Now live here for 10 years and I feel good.

I've seen it happen with my own eyes. I was standing outside a food stall in the red light district. A British couple were sat down drinking. The guy started arguing with a gay Thai guy. He was livid, I thought it was going to escalate there and then . I remember the look he gave the English guy , a Bruce Lee stare, that's when I knew he wasn't finished with him for disrespecting him in front of everyone and his people. It calmed down and they finished their drinks in silence for about 5 mins . The couple got up , and started walking towards the main road. They were obviously sure the argument was over for good. They couldn't of been more wrong. The Thai guy involved quietly got up out of his chair, I saw a bottle in his hand. He crept up out of his chair, glancing side to side to check for police, then he started running very fast behind them and broke the bottle on his head, full force , ran off , hurdled the storm drain and darted off into the night across the other side of the main road. The guys Mrs, English girl started screaming because of all the blood from him getting bottled pouring onto the street . He was mouning, clutching his head. The Thai stall owners just stared and gave each other a knowing glance as if to say "That what happens if you mess with the wrong guy here , gay or straight." The police came, but it was pointless, the man was well gone. They pretended to look for him by looking down the street, but nothing happened and no one dared to give witness to the police, it would of been pointless anyway. The couple got a taxi to the hospital, with the girl weeping for her man, and the red light vibe carried on as if nothing had happened. A chatted to a Thai stall owner about what happened. He said they were all ready to deal with violence or whatever they choose to be , and showed me his weapon of choice under his stall, a very nasty looking club, full of graffiti..... Btw, it had definitely been used.

Been twice to Thailand for several months in total whilst backpacking several countries in Asia. Countries like Indonesia, Laos, South Korea, Singapore etc. And I simply stayed away from socializing with local woman (dated a Korean lady from NY in Seoul that I’ve met in Thailand, which I found no problem to deal with since she was raised within a western orientated culture, I could relate to her) and instead spend time with western woman that were also traveling. I was not and never have been interested in bars or prostitutes, other then going out with people I knew to go have fun and dance. I drank some social drinks with people but never got drunk or did illegal substances in new situations (hardly did “drugs” unless locals did them with me, smoked weed in Kho Phangan, had hash in Korea and opium in Laos, but never asked for it or went looking for it. People would offer it to me and I knew the people that would be offering it before hand, but it’s always an unnecessary risk you’re taking and I would just avoid it all. Also don’t get stupidly drunk it’s a recipe for disaster at home and abroad. I stayed away from people trying to get me somewhere instead I would use to ask other travelers where to go and what to avoid next to checking out the ever present Lonely Planet guides everyone is carrying around. So no good to be true scams that promises you to make easy money smuggling drugs, precious metals or gems (and they sell you colored glass as gems for instance) No invitations to massage parlors in connection to prostitution or bars, No invitations to come out to a private poker game where huge bets you can’t counter is used to get you to loose all your money (this one happened to a guy I met in Bali that was invited by a “friendly local guy” guy he met on the beach and who later invited him at some remote private poker party in the evening where he god scammed by the huge amount they would bet against him. Money he didn’t have and bluffing him out of the game, a set up that they lured him into with a manipulated game. And being out in the dark with strangers not knowing where you are with them ganging up on you, not a good idea. It’s about setting your own agenda and not getting yourself into vulnerable situations where other lead you around. Plus don’t be a opportunist pig taking advantage of poverty and vulnerable woman etc. it’s the easiest way to avoid the sinister and illegal side of a countries society.

[@NUMMEHARBEN]

if you are gonna stay more than 1-3 weeks try to be friends with an ordinary family and see the city with family members which you of course pay for their meals and other expenses. I met a Thai woman in my home country where she had lived for 14 years and when we went to Thailand we were staying with her relatives and one was a motorcycle taxi driver,. My girlfriend took me to the bars with prostitutes and live shows because she had been working at one when she was running away from her family at the age of 16.

[@ahfez]

I'm trained in Muaythai but in the streets, I prefer running away if possible especially if I'm alone. Only if I have to protect someone important such as my family, my wife, and my kids than I will stand there protecting them even if it will cost my life.

Good of you to debunk some of these stereotypes. It’s regrettable that there are some of these western visitors who visit a country a few times and then fancy themselves “experts” and proceed to perpetuate unhelpful stereotypes based on their own suspicious nature. Yes, of course there are scammers in Asia. But that’s not unique to just Asia. Just because a tourist is inexperienced and comes with preconceived notions of Asia and then starts to see shadows every which way they turn does not mean Asia is really like that.

DO NOT leave money in a padlocked zippered bag (both zipper tabs locked together) in your hotel room or left on a Group tourist bus(even if your tourist guide says your belongings are safe left on bus) They are not! Your guide, bus driver, and the luggage handler that lives under the bus in the luggage compartment has access to your belongings. They can separate the zipper seam with a ballpoint pen, steal your money in small amounts that you would notice(Count and keep track of your money daily in a tiny note book is how I found out money was missing). When they are done stealing they will grab the padlocked zipper tabs and run them back and forth over the zipper seam until bag is resealed. Then you wonder how the hell they got into your padlocked bag. Now you know! This happened to me in Thailand traveling with an organized group tour.

They even dragged his body to the fields off the street thinking he was dead. They tried to beat him to death just for breaking up a fight. Then the police put him in jail with those same guys just to get money out of him. Very disturbing and sad all around.
