Hi,
But what percentage of rapes get reported in Thailand, as opposed to in those countries?
While I think it is a very safe country for tourists (in general, and not counting traffic issues), I think that for Thais the situation is quite different. Violence is very common, and Thais do explode at times and will kill over the slightest issue. Road rage also seems to be quite common, with many people carrying clubs, knives, or worse, in their cars.
Sanuk!
