U guys are making Thailand a battle zone like Syria
Thailand is a very safe haven to visit and spend money. Tourism is 1 of the main income. Dun worry too much about pistols, revolver and so on. It is very rare that u can hear gun shot or see someone pulling out 1. In Thailand, just be humble and mind your own biz.
Just to add regarding "humble", this is what I observe how SG behaves in Thailand.
1) Wear thick gold chain or bracelet.
2) Putting expensive Ipui on the table or talking on the Ipui while walking on the street.
3) Show off thick pile of THB.
4) Loud voice when talking.
5) Assume gers in pub or disco as WL.
6) Assume himself richer or more handsome than any Thai.
Just use your common sense if u have when touring foreign countries.... u will be safe and enjoy the trip.
