I moved to Bangkok 1.5y ago after living in London/Europe for most of my life and it feels significantly safer. I feel safe walking home alone at night on Sukhumvit. When I lost my phone on a night out it was returned to the bar staff who gave it back to me and refused to accept money as thanks. YMMV but personally I have never had any problems outside of cab drivers charging me farang prices when I am not with my Thai friends :)

The aggression of street gangs abusing social media to stalk individuals is getting as intense as other places with so many urban poor using methamphetamine drugs. The modern slavery condition is intense, prostitution is getting very ugly, like Japan. It's getting like Kuala Lumpur, meth always causes rashes of killings.

As a Japanese expat travelling from country to country, Bangkok is fairly safer than many major EU countries, and far safer than US cities. Love the Bangkok nightlife and can always walk alone. But don't do that in London or NYC.

It's my fifth stay in Bangkok. I feel safe here. But I feel safe anywhere since I'm Christian and God is always with me.
