The safety picture

A plain-language read of the sourced figures below

Bangkok is more a gap in our records than a full entry.

We hold no vetted homicide or robbery rate for the city, and without those inputs there is no composite score to read. Only two of the five incidence categories have any data, so treat this profile as provisional. What we do have is the official guidance. The four governments we track, the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia, all place Thailand at their second advisory level, increased caution, with no disagreement between them. Those advisories also flag pickpocketing and scams directed at travellers. On perception, 72.4% of people said they feel safe walking alone at night, though that figure is for the country as a whole, not Bangkok specifically.

Safety dimensions

Violent crimeNo data

Robbery & theftNo data

Travel advisoryNo data

The radar shows the three sourced, comparable risk measures (homicide, robbery, the strictest travel-advisory level). Tourist petty-crime signals are a different kind of measure — how often advisories mention them — so they are shown as rows under Tourist-specific incidents, not as radar axes.

Homicide / general violence

No vetted homicide figure for Bangkok yet.

Robbery (police-recorded)

No vetted robbery figure for Bangkok yet.
