Is there a lot of crime in Koh Phangan?

Answer this Question

We asked people if there is a lot of crime. They answered...

"Koh Phangan, is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, but like any other place, it does experience some crime. The most common crimes reported on the island are petty theft, pickpocketing, and bag snatching, particularly in crowded areas and during the famous Full Moon parties. Scams, such as overcharging for services or fraudulent rentals, can also be an issue. Violent crimes are relatively rare, but they do occur occasionally, often fueled by alcohol or drug use. It is essential for visitors to remain vigilant, take necessary precautions, and avoid engaging in risky behavior to minimize the chances of becoming a victim of crime," explained one expat living in Koh Phangan, Thailand.
