I often hear people saying how Phuket is so much less crime than back home, or its over reported, or one of many other excuses but like you I think the vioent crime is far higher that I experienced in large towns (larger in population) and small cities back home.
Secondly when it comes to break ins, even if theres less break ins (which I dont think is true) if farang homes are the break in targets, and theres only X amount of farangs in a community then the % chance of being broken into is that much higher.
I dont much mind and dont feel under pressure (Indo is much worse) but do think that the apologists really do have some of Mav's specs.
