SammyT Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 13 minutes ago, HalfLight said: Well, most of what you say is your own way of justifying what you already know is unacceptable, but which you can't ignore unless you find a sensible reason to ignore it. So you make one. Effective, in an unthinking kind of a way. The article and thread is aimed at whether Thailand is safe for tourists or not. I'm pointing out that many of the things that are unsafe about Thailand do not directly affect tourists. I'd say that is a sensible reason to say that Thailand is probably safer for tourists (and expats) than a bitter one like yourself would love to preach. Effective from a logical thinking kind of way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geriatrickid Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 3 hours ago, Psimbo said: Nowhere in the world is 'safe'- look at the Thai tourist who was killed in Strasbourg having decided not to visit Paris due to the unrest. This was a random act which can happen anywhere. I do take umbrage at 'trusting the Thai police' though- but that is in general, not based on the actions of an off duty cop. it doesn't stop the knee-jerk Thaigeezer reactions though. Whoa. Two unrelated and non comparable events. Strasbourg was the result of an Islamic jihadi on a rampage. If anything, it is comparable to killings in the South of Thailand. In the the accused merdering police officer, this was his second alleged killing. He should not have been allowed to have a firearm , nor allowed to remain an active police officer while the first murder case was going on. And this will certainly shut up the TVFers who like to brag about their connections to the police. The deceased was friends with his alleged killer.

Roads 5. Boats. These may have already been added, but I can't be arsed to wade through 6 pages of posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even that might not be the case given the way the immigration police treat some visitors. I seem to remember a Chinese woman being kidnapped in the airport recently.

BestB Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Thailand is safe and a lot safer than a lot of countries out there but one has to have a brain and some common sense Sadly, many seem to either inhale stupid gas once airplane enters Thai airspace or just leave their brain at home.

Mike21 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Killing tourist and taking money from tourist isn't safe. I was stopped for not wearing a helmet and they wanted 1000 baht for no ticket and for the motorbike not to be impounded. As many other Thais drove by without helmets. That's not safe ?That's fare?
