Yes, like any place in the world. Just make sure you minimize the possibility of problems. Don't travel in the 3 most southern provinces, Yala, Narthiwat and Pattani. This is where all of the problems with the muslims is occurring. Stay in areas in Bangkok that are well lit and well traveled. Don't get in a fight with a Thai person, walk away if they start to argue or find a Tourist policeman. Be mindful of Thai customs. Don't drink too much.
for the do's and don'ts check out www.thailandguru.com for the most recent updates. This is actually a website for a farangs business but, he has some healthy pointers.
Plus, I have not heard anything from my friends in thailand. I have a farang friend there now and he has not mentioned anything bad.
Just heard today, 03/13/2007, that in the North Chiang Mai area that there are air pollution problems. People are issued masks by the government. I would probably stay away from there for a while. The fires, over 1,000 of them, were started by farmers to clear land.

Yes, I was in Thailand for a month, just last week and experienced no problems. I had the same concern prior to my trip. Do not worry, you will have a good time. Remember, there are about 5 millinon tourists that go to Thailand each year.. You are way too important to the economy for travel there to be unsafe. Have a good trip.

Yes it is. I'm in Thailand at the moment. Regardless of the political situation, the day to day live goes on peacefully.

It is as safe as any other place. As always be vigilant when you are out, and have a great time.
