Maybe tuk-tuk drivers around Grand Palace? Rolex/DVD vendors around Pat Pong? Taxi mafia at airport? ThailandQA members still unsure if you are a troll or not?

Don't worry about tigers or bears in the wild, they are nearly become extinct from this country. Opportunity to meet them in the zoo or the animal sanctuary zone is easier. But if the destiny let you meet them in the wild, don't panic. By instinct they are afraid human and often run away.

If you wanna camp in the wild, be careful about the snake like Cobra, the scorpion, and the centipede. Only line around your tent with lime powder (calcium hydroxide) can protect you when asleep inside.

Burmese Pythons are hardly to see in the natural wild, but often be found in the city. Naughty teenagers bought them from the pet shops. And when the pythons grew over limit, most mothers were afraid their kids would become the pets lunch, so many pythons were sent to the zoo.

Nearly the border country, the mosquito can be a carrier of disease germs such as Malaria and Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever. These fevers spread again by labor migration from neighbor country. We can cure these fevers in the hospitals. Thai idiom said Mosquito is more dangerous than Tiger. it means you can hide from the tiger but not from the mosquito.

I think there are wild tigers living around the border with Burma, which is where the ones in the reserves originate. But sure, it's the soi dogs that are harder to avoid.
But if you really mean ''dangerous'' then there are the mosquitoes in some parts that can with dengue fever.

Thanks David for that informative reply...And you`re absolutely correct about "snakes & scorpions" as they are on the list of "Thai national tourism web" as dangerous wild life, for tourists to watch out for, along with jelly fish and some others. Does any one else go on this Thai web?...As for that "shrimp" Dog bear,( I saw them in Chicago zoos)...I think I could put him into my back pocket, my Nooch gives me tougher wrestling time than that bear could

If you are worried about the wildlife in Thailand, come and have a holiday in Australia. Then you will never worry about Thai wildlife again.

Soi dogs do bite people on occasion and in some parts of Thailand they carry rabies. Most of them will leave you alone if you leave them alone but don't treat them as harmless.

[swoluelvede]

Several people mentioned loose dogs as danger to people,....sure have noticed them myself, but as my wife said to me, they are not dangerous, they do not attack people, and I have not been chased even once by any of them, nor even growled at by them....(I think they behave differently than dogs in U.S. which some are very vicious, but I think human (mis)treatment of them/dogs, is partly to blame for that) Now that is only my experience, but just wondering do people in Bkk. get attacked and bitten by all these free running dogs?

[swoluelvede]

Well,...thanks for your informative comment Mr. Guava....and no,...no trolleys here...

[payloansday]

It is a sad reflection on Thialand that when animals do manage to survive despite habitat reduction they are then branded a "dangerous" which iof course suggests that they should be either rounded up or killed - or both...

Dengue is NOT limited to the borders it is pandemic in Thailand....it is irresponsible to suggest that it is brought in by workers from abroad - the range of transmission from person to person is small and it covers the whole country - like wise, malaria though requiring humans as a vehicle does not inquire as to their nationality.
Dengue is NOT curable and there is no vaccine (yet) as the three types makes this difficult to achieve.
as far as I'm aware the malarial parasite is also invulnerable to medicine.

Dengue seems to be getting a little more difficult to avoid every year. I think Malaria-carrying mosquitoes still are rare in the more heavily touristed areas.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control posts a long list of recommendations for travelers to Thailand on its web site here: http://wwwn.cdc.gov/travel/destinationThailand.aspx.

If your unlucky you may run into a rare wild tiger, although they mainly hunt at night, but if your unlucky you may step into a den of cubs and if your detected by the mother, your a goner.

Maybe its all part of the illuminati?

the secret group of "demi-gods" the ILLUMINATIES, who are multy billioners and have money by the tonnes and whose ultimate objective is the rule of the world, and they in turn are manipulated and servants of the Devil....

The Clouded Leopard, Neofelis Nebulosa, is native to most of Indo-China from southern China down to the bottom of Malaysia.

[TornadoPD]

Seriously, you're got no chance of just accidentally wandering into the path of a roaming tiger or leopard so I wouldn't worry about that.

On the other hand, the two most dangerous animals in the world are in abundance out in the wild here...

[swoluelvede]

I wondered for some time if there were any tigers living in wilds in Thailand, I asked my wife, but she thought yes, was not sure though...So I found this web "friends of Thailand`s wild life" whose members are Thais & foreigners, and they operate wildlife shelters/refuges in Thailand, according to them they have tigers in their "shelters" and leopards, and bears, ( Did not know that these last 2 lived in Thailand.) So since they have them in their refuges, there must be some of these animals we humans consider dangerous to us, still living in wilds of Thailand as well....What other natural dangers should I be wary of, when hiking in Thai wilderness?...( other than pretty girls? )

[adverwork]

The smallest species of the bear family, the Malaysian Sun Bear Ursus Helarctos Malayanus, can be found in lowland areas of most Southeast Asian countries. In Indonesia and Malaysia is is often called the 'Honey Bear' and in Thailand the 'Dog Bear'.

But I think you more likely to come across snakes or scorpions...

David

[swoluelvede]

Well Mr. Sved, what I posted there about Illuminatis is not something I made up, it is a fact, which most people do not bother to read about,...or shose to ignore, but feel free to go on inter-net, and type in illuminati on yahoo and open the many webs,...and you will see that what I was saying there has lot of truth to it,...actually it is all truth...
