Now with the seagames, I think the main streets are
much safer.

I did not see much beggars along the main places.
Probably garmen cleaning up.

555+ I was there just after the Marriot bombings! So definitely felt really unsafe but boh pian have to go due to work.

I observed in Jakarta there is a lot of bums just lepak-ing along the road from morning til night where my hotel was. Also the "beggars" that you have to "tip" a few K Rp here and there for simple things like "helping" u park your car, "helping" your car turn into the main road, "cleaning" your car window or strumming a guitar at the intersection whilst you wait for the light to turn green etc... its either these people are just plain lazy to look for proper work or there is none at all. BTW did I mention the taxis that rip u off?

Comparing both cities, Bangkok is definitely the place for me. BTW bro thanks for the "beer" its much appreciated especially when its in short supply now!

555+ ...no wonder your friend laugh at you! Go all the way for 2nd best?
IMHO nothing beats the chicken rice in Singapore! Its the best! Hway Kwang, Pratunam and those wannabe Singapore Chicken Rice in Thonglor and Ladprao can't beat Singapore's Tian Tian, Boon Tong Kee, Loy Kee, Wee Nam Kee etc... (damn! getting hungry!)

I find most Chinese food in Bangkok is not to my taste like the horrible, hard & cold braised duck in MK. Or their char siew rice which is always drenched in that horrible sweetish black sauce.

Only thing worth going for is the ban mee kiao (aka wanton mee) at XXXXX (sorry, its not the Pratunam one) or the kaao kah moo (pig leg rice) at Pratunam Soi 19.
