Thailand is probably one of the more safer places in Asia to tote a camera.
The people might watch you out of curiosity but are unlikely to stick a
knife to rob you. They are actually quite gentle and I have not seen anyone
pick a fight with anybody else. All said, it does not mean that leaving
your camera unattended is equally safe. Like all places, it's a matter of
finders keepers.
It also makes sense to avoid dark alleys and unsavoury spots even though
you have another two males with you.
