People don’t feel safe anymore in Thailand. News is saying that Thailand has a problem with weapons, drugs, rape and thefts. How do people experience this? We ask some locals and some tourists to get a better understanding of whether Thailand is still safe or not.

👇Is Thailand still a safe country to live in? Is it safe to travel to? Please let us know what you think 🙏🏼👇

@Car_Porn Год назад

It’s 50/50 you risk being robbed drugged and killed like anywhere else The harder it gets for locals to make money the more dangerous it will get for tourist That’s life ppl be careful what you wish for

@snanth70 Год назад

Over all.. Thailand is very safe even you see the bad news from the media. Thailand still more safe than other countries

@musoal1 Год назад

Thanks for the vlog. Our daughter has lived in Chiang Mai for 11 years and feels very safe. We are coming to visit on Sunday (16th) and can't wait. Alan and Lillian in OZ.

@Chai_Travel Год назад

HinAlan and Lillian! Nice to hear from you again 🙏🏼 I remember you’re telling me your daughter has lived here in CM. It’s super safe here compare to other places in the world 🏆 great to hear you’re making your way over 😃 cheers

@my2cents943 Год назад

I am amazed and surprised to hear the first lady's comment as I feel CM is a very peaceful and one of the safest places in TH. However, I haven't visited there since covid. All I can say is that, as a native of Bangkok, I feel very safe living here and almost everywhere in the country (except 3 southernmost provinces). Pickpockettings do occur in some tourist spots and I heard they're mostly committed by people from neighboring countries. After all, I can say Thais regard tourists as our visitors/guests and we always prioritize their wellness and safety. Officials also pay heedful attention to these aspects. Ones that do wrong to the tourists would be normally condemned by people in the society. That's not to say we treat each other differently but just that tourists or guests are highly prioritized in the country. I hope you can already feel it without anybody sayings. PS: As everything here these days is much politicized to some degrees, there's a reminder that CM is the major home base of the opposition party and is the hometown of corruption-convicted ex-PM now in exile. I think people's opinion may differ more or less by the political influence in each area/province too. BTW, I like your street chats very much. It's really interesting and enjoyable. Keep going!

@Chai_Travel Год назад

My2cents, Sorry for my late reply! Thank you so much for your valuable input 🙏🏼 There's definitely some wisdom in it. I hope people don’t we afraid of other people just because what they hear on the news. I always try to stay away from political opinions myself just for my own safety if you know what I mean ;) Thanks again!

@Chai_Travel Год назад

@e I'm not sure it's safe for me to steer things up talking about the government. :)

@kuloacido2057 Год назад

Excuse me, may I ask you something abt Thailand??

@chrish.6968 Год назад

Thanks for making this video, Chai. I think it's important not to let tragedies like the one that occured in Isan become a source of fear for the citizens as well as potential travelers. I live in the US where we have these kinds of shootings regularly, so I usually feel safer when I'm traveling outside of my country. For instance, I've traveled a few times to South Africa. I heard before I went that it was very dangerous and that I should be careful. My experience was the opposite. What I found was a beautiful country with very kind, welcoming people, abundant wildlife, and no difficulties whatsoever. Maybe I'm lucky, but I've gone a lot of places and I've enjoyed something about all of them! Also, I'm an architect, so I'm looking forward to the treehouse video!

@Chai_Travel Год назад

Hi Chris, Nice input there! I totally see where you’re coming from 🙏🏼 I think you might have been lucky and at the same time I think South Africa is full with lovely people too :) Thanks for sharing your experience. I have to say; me and Ilona came back from the tree house and it was beautiful. Some scary rafting 🛶 and an amazing accommodation is coming next 😊 thanks again Chris. Have a lovely evening already 🏆 cheers

@Earl_Richter Год назад

Hey Chai, this was a really interesting episode. I know it was a little different from the norm but it's important to talk about the good as well as the bad. The one lady from Chiang Mai who said she didn't always feel safe echoed the sentiments of my friend from Chiang Mai (also a lady). I always disagreed with her when she said it can be a very risky place for women but I guess they know better than us. Bottom line: I guess no place is 100% danger free but Thailand is still better than most, IMO. Keep 'em coming!

@Chai_Travel Год назад

Thanks a lot and that’s a nice input 🙏🏼 I totally agree about they would know better than us. It’s a shame there a a lot of fear in such a safe environment. No place is 100% danger free indeed 💪 I’ll keep them coming 😃 cheers

excellent job interviewing people, I will be spending a month backpacking around Thailand starting next week so its def. interesting to see people's thoughts, feelings, and perspective. Honestly, I feel like I will probably be safer than I am in the USA but still always important to be aware of your surroundings and think logically.

@Chai_Travel Год назад

Thanks Dan 🙏🏼 I have never felt safer here :) just need to stick to some rules and be respectful :) this is just from a foreigners perspective though 🤗 Cheers!

@pornrutrabintossaporn8881 Год назад

I was born and raised in BKK, now moving to Pathumthani, but visiting my parent in BKK regularly. After watching this episode, I am unexpected shocked by the local in CM and that open my eyes about other thoughts a lot because I ‘ve never known that our folk feel like that. For me I ‘ve never felt unsafe anywhere in my country. I’m quite confused now, am I too careless? 😅

@Chai_Travel Год назад

Hi there :) I don’t think you’re careless. I think the best thing to live your life freely and not to worry too much. Hazards are everywhere but living in fear is not living a great life 😊 (just my own opinion). I was a bit shocked as well and I hope not everyone is feeling this way. I’m glad you never feel unsafe and I think you’re doing it right 😁 thanks for your message

Cheers Chai. Interesting video as always with a good balance of Thais and Tourists interviewed although I think the Thais struggle with getting their message across the way they want to sometimes, especially that first interview, something I battle with regarding the missus even 28 years on 😀. Maybe we both need interpreters at times 😂🤣😂 Nice work champ!! 🤩

Lovely interview, interesting about the safety, i can understand why she said that, she thinks it will be more unsafe cause of the 420 new law, all the pod shops can change it. Who knows mate, i still feel save in Thailand and hope it will be so for many years to come. Enjoyed all these interviews Champ 🙏 And as always, C Yq in the next one, cheers 🙌🍻

@anthonygraham1872 Год назад

Yes, I believe Thailand is safer than many other countries around the world. In my opinion, Thailand has more scams than real crimes. Most tourist are the target of these scams, because some people (not all) feel tourists have money to be had, so why not take advantage of them. One common issue that I've heard from many Thais is, they find it difficult to find a job, especially if older than 40. My Thai friend said that she has no issues finding work, because she has vast restaurant experience, but others are not so lucky, so a few turn to darker avenues to make a living. But I definitely feel safe, everytime I've visited the Land of Smiles. Horrific crimes occur everywhere in the world, but seem to be less frequent in Thailand, imo.

Zojuist je nieuwe video bekeken. wij hebben ons in 2x Thailand nog geen moment onveilig gevoeld. Onze dochter van 19 gaat samen met haar vriend in februari naar Thailand. Aantal dagen Bangkok en een ruime week naar Krabi. Wij zijn daar geruster op dan dat ze 2 weken naar Benidorm zou gaan. Voor ons dus een heel veilig land. Kijken er naar uit om in januari weer te gaan. Groetjes Danny en Wilma

@Chai_Travel Год назад

Hi Wilma! Echt, ik denk ook dat Thailand super veilig is 😁 wel erg vervelend voor de lokale mensen die zich niet altijd even veilig voelen. We heb zelf nog geen kinderen maar ik snap dat jullie iets meer zogen maken over Benidorm 😜 maar het zal vast en zeker allemaal goed gaan en ze zal vast veel plezier hebben ❤️ groetjes ook van Ilona 🙏🏼

The shooting was happened just tragic. Doesn’t means across the county will the same. The gun problem many county facing this including Thailand. And every where got CCTV ,and as the local your need to believe and trust in community. To get rap not easy But asked yourself first why?In Chiangmai not all of them are local , some of them moved there just for business and new resident. The most important is just be smart and respect everywhere you go.

"Like, like, like, ......" 🙄 Oy, vey!!! Why was she standing there and bad-mouthing her own country? Bad things happen everywhere. She just needs to be careful how she presents herself & be aware of her surroundings.

@Chai_Travel Год назад

Hi Panna 🙏🏼 still I’m thankful she was taking her time to talk to us. I think the internet and the news she’s seeing is making her afraid. It’s a shame because I think Thailand is one of the safest countries in the world, also for ladies 🏆

@sasiya5698 Год назад

Actually she’s not badmouthing her own country she was just saying her point of view and it is true , I would say it’s not tht safe first of all because of the law is not very strict like when you commit serious crime if you have money you can get over with it and change from wrong to right , also when criminals are out of jail they commit again and again . Nowadays , drugs became so much cheaper and people who used it just go crazy and kill other people

@sasiya5698 Год назад

Also the news ( local TV ) everytime I watch the news mostly is about killing , drugs users , rape and car accident . I would say it’s not safe because of the laws are not so strict so people are not scared to commit crime . After all I’m not saying its bad but it’s not super safe and yah it is important to be aware of surrounding& yourself too because anything could just happen . 🙏🏻

@paulie4450 Год назад

Considering how common guns now are in the US & even Canada, and also how common knife crimes are in the UK & parts of Europe, westerners are far more used to living with the unrest of violence than say Asians. I had been looking at gun violence and gun crime in Thailand just days before the recent massacre, and here's what I gathered: ~ Thailand has the highest % of gun ownership in all of SE Asia, mostly illegal purchase. ~ Most of the violence is limited to local fights, squabbles, gang runs during seasonal farming of wildlife/nature, and ofc drug cartels. ~ Gun violence/illegal ownership is intrinsically linked to drug cartels, especially trans-country corridors and drug movement. Since Thailand law & order has a rather relaxed approach to drugs compared to other SE Asian countries, it invites a similar slack approach to gun ownership. Gun ownership is always an iffy subject. So many will vouch for it saying its better to be armed, but global evidence only shows its misuse leads to sole-gunman massacres. More economic unrest and mental health issues means higher potential for sole-gunman incidents.

Thailand is great it's as safe if not safer then most places in the world. It's probably the people that put themselves in a situation where they can get into trouble, That's My opinion anyway.I been going and stayed in Thailand before over many years. And rarely have I seen trouble. Thai people in general are very friendly.
