No official source names specific areas to avoid here: travel advisories for Thailand are country-level, and no published dataset covers neighborhood-level crime - so this briefing does not invent it.

How safe is Sattahip really?

No published homicide figure exists for Sattahip itself, so the national rate stands in: Thailand recorded 4.8 homicides per 100,000 people in 2011 - close to the global city median. The city itself may be safer or more dangerous than its country's average. Thailand's income inequality is middling (Gini 33.3) - in this dataset inequality predicts city violence better than any other structural factor, so this neither raises nor lowers the picture much.

What the travel advisories say

The US State Department currently rates Thailand at level 1 of 4 - "Exercise normal precautions" (updated 2026-07-06). The UK Foreign Office advises against all but essential travel to parts of this country. Both advisories are country-level: no official source publishes verified neighborhood-level crime guidance for individual cities, which is why this page reports named areas only where an official source names them.

How the score works

Low homicide40%44

Peace25%100

Equality25%70

Development10%80

One fixed, calibrated mix for every city: 40% homicide · 25% peace · 25% equality · 10% HDI. Homicide and conflict deaths are measured outcomes; income inequality carries the structural share because it predicts real city violence far better than national income (which is shown above but scored at zero). Each factor maps to 0-100 against fixed anchors, missing data drops out and is never estimated, and cities with data behind less than half the weighting get “no data” instead of a score. For Sattahip that gives 68.3/100. Full methodology, anchors and sources →
