I'm the same way. I tell people that you really have nothing to worry about over here other than getting conned on the price of something and even when that happens it quickly becomes a life lesson and it doesn't happen again. I have never heard of anyone being a victim of a violent crime here in Thailand or even feeling nervous about a part of town they were in and as foreigners, we are frequently lost so ending up in the wrong part of town is likely something that happens to us on a regular basis. Even in my own smallish college town there was a "no go" part of town and the population was only around 100,000 people there.
