Buy a house in Lat Phrao in Bangkok?
Lat Phrao is not really a tourist area but it is full with students and young people. The Lat Phrao road is very long and Thai people tend to know on what part you should live on and what part you should not buy a house.
The Thai Police have named Lat Phrao 101 and Lat Phrao 107 the most risky area in Bangkok. These streets are followed by Sukhumvit 105 and Soi Phaholyothin 52 near the Victory monument.
The Thai Police will try to increase the number of police officers on duty in these areas and they will also put up more Cameras in the Lat Phrao area.
In 2007 the Thai police gave the public a similar view of the crimes in Bangkok:
Robbery:
Lat Phrao 23
Rangsit 64
Soi Suan Pak in Taling Chan District
Drugs:
Soi Pirom in Samphanthawong district
Soi Charan Sanitwong 89
Spo Ruam Baksa in Huai Kwang district
Soi Wat Makok on Ratchawithi
Sexual Assault:
Charan Sanitwong 37
Charoen Nakhon 23Brawls
Soi Wimutayaram in Bang Phlat district
Brawls:
Ramkhamhaeng Soi 8
Soi Wimutayaram in Bang Phlat district
Still most people live here fell much safer in Bangkok than any other city around the world. Even Pattaya to the east of Bangkok has much more crimes against foreigners then Bangkok ever will have.
