How safe is Thailand?

Travel Info
I haven't been to Thailand since 2001 and I'm wondering is it still safe cause I been hearing a lot about how dangerous the south can be. I hope the Thai government fix things up soon, I don't understand the Muslims....

Travel Tips

Thailand is as safe as it was in 2001. The south maybe a bit of a problem due to insurgency but otherwise, the rest of the country is pretty safe as back home.

Of course, you can expect some degree of crime at such tourist places and depending on where you plan to go, just the basic precautions would suffice.

If you are planning to go and live in Pattaya for a while, I suggest you go to the website of a weekly tabloid called Pattaya People. They carry a lot of crime stories which would give you a clear indication of what happens there. Similar websites are available for other major cities in Thailand.

Other Travel Tips
Thailand is still mostly safe, except for the south as you can see. Everyone wants to see the problem resolve because it is bringing much sufferings there. The people there are not having a peaceful life and never know when or where the militants will strike next.
it will be good if the govt can isolate the militants from the civilians and deal with them accordingly.
safe as like in other country..
extremely safe!!! I was just there for 3 months
