When crossing Thai roads I tend to look left, right, and upwards! You never know where they're going to come from. And, of course, hotels and nightclubs are notorious for keeping their fire escape doors locked. I watch a channel called The Raven's Eye which features global disasters, and it's clear that most tragedies are so avoidable. You still made the right decision to move there though.

Thank you for telling the truth about risks in Thailand to everyone who might be here someday, especially badly accident on motorcycle. In my opinion, I really concern about tourists safety when seeing them riding a motorcycle here. 😢

You pays your money and takes your chance. As you advise do some homework before you go and keep your eyes open. In my 30 plus years of travelling the globe, only once did I get my pocket picked and that was in New York. Good work BC

All true - run over on a Pedestrian crossing (Zebra) crossing in the UK. Smacked into when stationary on a motorway in the UK by a car going 60 mph. No place is safe but best to reduce risk.
