Is Thailand dangerous!?

I feel safer walking around the streets of Bangkok at midnight than I ever would in Sydney. When I went to a large festival for the Kings birthday in December 2005, a policeman told me to move my small back pack around to the front to protect against pick pockets. Other places I've gone (and there's been a lot) there's been signs warning people to be on the lookout for pick pockets. I've been there since the coup (for 4 weeks in February) and nothing seemed any different than any other time (I've been to Thailand 6 times). The only qualifier I would give is that I get very good advice, because my wife is Thai.

Yo! Wilso,thx for your reply.
It would be safer,i think,bcoz your wife is Thai.
BTW,r there any terriots would give a attack to the Bangkok city?
I'm worrying abt that there would be a bomb-man around me when i get there...and...boom~~~.......-__-||

There is terrorism in Thailand, but most of it is restricted to the deep south. I think there has been an attack in Bangkok, but I'm not big on the details. It was several months ago. Have you been up north? Chiang Mai is great, there's heaps to do, and probably less danger than Bangkok if that's what you're worried about?

One thing I'd advise. The new airport is open now (in Bangkok), and it takes longer to get through than the old one. Whenever you're flying out of the new one, give yourself an extra 30 minutes to an hour.

wow~i've got it ,Wilso!
THX alot!!

If you make the trip, report back. Let me know what it was like, and what you saw/did. Cheers

2 wives
Hey Raymond if by chance you read this post , I was just wondering why you would want to know if you can have 2 wives just any where? I know that if the right people are working together for a common goal than why not?? Just wondering.

Re: 2 wives


I am also wondering why it is allowed to have 2 wives in some countries,like in Thailand!

My wife is Thai, and she's just confirmed for me that bigamy is as illegal in Thailand as in most western countries. Plenty of guys have mistresses, but as far as a legal marriage, a man can only have one wife.

I was in Phuket for three weeks in July and the only problem I had was with a Thai tuk-tuk driver taking liberties with me but that was due to my own stupidly for accepting a free ride.

The women are even worse than the men as far as touching goes but I didn't mind that at all.

Don't you mean take-take?

As in taking liberties? I need to finsh my tuk-tuk story.

I wish you would.
