Is there a lot of crime in Chiang Mai?

"Chiang Mai is generally considered to be a safe city, with low levels of crime compared to other cities in Thailand. However, petty crime such as pickpocketing and bag snatching can occur, particularly in crowded areas. Tourists should take extra care when carrying valuables and be aware of their surroundings. Additionally, there have been reports of scams targeting tourists, so it is important to be vigilant," said another expat in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

"Very, very little crime here. You can leave your groceries in your motorbike basket, go do more shopping and when you return, everything will still be there," wrote a member who made the move to Chiang Mai, Thailand.
