Is there a lot of crime in Koh Samui?

"Koh Samui, like any other tourist destination, experiences some level of crime. However, it is generally considered safe for tourists. The most common crimes reported are petty thefts, such as pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas or on public transportation. Scams targeting tourists are also not uncommon, with taxi scams being one of the most frequent. Violent crime is relatively rare, but it does occur occasionally, often linked to the local nightlife scene. Drug-related crimes are also present, as Thailand has strict laws against drug use and trafficking. Despite these issues, the majority of visitors to Koh Samui have a safe and enjoyable experience, especially when they take basic precautions to protect their belongings and personal safety," said another expat in Koh Samui, Thailand.
