I'm here. My friends are here. A lot of people are here, and have been here. I saw a Yahoo answer the other day where the person was recommending that the asker stay away from Bangkok. She even said "I don't even know if you can get in there." Unbelievable.
Because of the (flower-party) coup, the violence in the south and the New Year's Eve bombings, I think many people believe that this is a gotta-be-insane-if-you-go place. In fact, the bars and tourists sites, the river boats, the hotels, the taxis, the tuk-tuks, the airport(s) are full of foreign travellers. Dangerous? Just look at statistics. Maybe buses and motorcycles and coconuts falling on your head are real risks - but you can do something about minimising those risks.
This has got to be one of the most-visited places in the world - like New York and Disney World. Anyway, don't be afraid. Don't forget the April/May heat - otherwise, great and beautiful city.

ive been to Bangkok 4 times this past year, but generally get out of town as soon as possible. NE Thailand is the place to be, no tourists.

I just returned from there about two weeks ago, but also took in Pattaya Beach and Udonthani. Crossing the street is the biggest danger in Bangkok, especially since the ninnies drive on the WRONG side of the road!!!

yes, i returned to the usa 2 weeks ago. I go once per year. Bangkok is as beautiful as ever and I had no problems. It was hot though.

Yes, I was just there two weeks ago. That trip was my 8th time. It was really hot! Not warm, but hot! (I'm from the Philippines and even I think it's warmer there). Thank goodness for ma phrao (cold coconut juice you drink from the shell with a straw pierced through the top) --- sold at almost every street corner along main thoroughfares and near skytrain stops :-)
