    Stating the obvious,safety is largely ignored in thailand.Stay at any hotel and mostly fire safety doors are left open,negating any safe escape route in the event of a fire.One hotel although only 1 storey had a balcony at the end of a public corridor with no railing, so any wayward children could easily come to harm if left unattended. Rule No 1 : dont stay anywhere above ground floor...
