travel warnings posted by US government for most countries are for the US government to cover their ass to keep US citizens from suing the US government if something happened to them while they were overseas and they had not been warned.
The warnings for IRAQ, Afghanistan, and other hotspots are valid.
The warnings for Philippines and Thailand are all CYA by US government.
Just like Magnusvv said, do not go to Southern Thailand and you will be fine. No more problems than your normal town in US and less than LA, New York, Chicago, Miami or any other big city in US.
Just act like you know what you are doing, walk on main streets and use public transportation, try to stay coherent at the end of the night, and don't take any drugs while in Thailand. Go go MTB and talk to Nicke and the BM's there and get the current info from them after you arrive. Don't walk around with too much money, take just enough to get by at night and a little extra, and don't flash a big roll of cash.
Have a great time.
