Report ranking Thailand a dangerous country to visit based on outdated information: Ministry

I don’t know. The report sounds pretty accurate to me.

If it is not dangerous, why are they forcing everyone to get insurance then?

Ah, I see it hasn’t taken long for the denials to start.
“...did not reflect the recently improved situation” 
What recent improvements? All I see is increased suppression of free speech and a ramped-up LM-charges situation. I also see increased hostility towards foreigners and an untrustworthy and corrupt police force. Seems to me the report is being kind to Thailand.

“The WEF admitted that some information was outdated, some information was biased, as it was collected using questionnaires...” 
Much like the information on the necessity for elections being collected by the present government using the four questions, except that in this case, using a questionnaire suits their goal.

Number one for bike deaths and number two in the world for all road deaths sounds pretty dangerous to me. Add to that the laughable safety surrounding electrical installations, the Thais’ famous ability to snap and go from clam to killing machine over a loss of face, the corrupt police, and a few million stray dogs - it’s not safe at all.

And just as numerous TV members predicted after the initial report... voila!... here it is, the obligatory and inevitable denial from the government, citing lame excuses.
It’s hilarious how easy it always is to anticipate their kneejerk reactions in their never-ending quest to save face and prop up the country’s oh-so-precious image, instead of effecting real change and tangible improvement.

Just because a place is listed as a top tourist destination does not mean it cannot also be one of the most dangerous.

This is widely understood and has been for years; I stopped encouraging my friends to come here years ago; the Foreign Minister Don gives me a headache every time he speaks publicly.

Not only the foreign minister but also mister PM - there isn't a single Thai friend of mine who watches and listens when he addresses the nation. Sorry for him - waist of effort and time.

20,000 road deaths a year , of course that isn’t dangerous at all.

What a joke! A credit card like MasterCard deciding which country is a “top” destination. 
Thailand is a top destination for making bags of money for MasterCard from tourists.

They should be happy they used older numbers, otherwise they would end up in the first 10.

Agreed the report is based on outdated information. Thailand is now in the top 5 most dangerous countries, and climbing...
