all big cities all have there bad and charm. You have been to lots of places most of them pretty calm except Europe. I find anything can happen in any major city there. London,Paris,Florence,Milan, all great cities but I am sure people could tell you of all kinds of tourist problems.
Bangkok well as others have said the food,the people,and a real 24 hour city. This city comes alive at night so if your a day person it would not be so great. For someone who wants to drink,dance,eat,shop,see a show all hours of the night well it is easy here.
I love my skytrain,shopping centers,movie theatres,spas,world class hotels and service are the keys to this city.
+1 and I've never found friendlier and helpful people any where else. Also they have great beaches less than 2 hrs. away.
Last time there (9 days) there was 2 murders in the entire country. One was a local near the border they thought had to do with drugs and the other was a tourist. They found the 2nd one tried and executed him before we left. Now that's justice. So how could you not love this country. I've never felt safer in my life.
