Safety in Thailand
Thailand is very safe in terms of crime and expats can expect to be readily helped by locals in emergencies. Violent crime is not a concern although expats are targets for petty crime such as scams and pickpocketing. Hired transportation such as motorbike taxis and tuk-tuks can be dangerous, as is highway traffic. Health centres in Bangkok are first-rate but degenerate quickly outside of urban areas. In certain rural areas dengue fever and malaria are prevalent.
