Nah, nothing to do with lawlessness, but many things. For example, here I actually know my neighbors, see them all the time everyday, if one of house cooks up a special meal we'll give the other a plate of it, etc. I lived in downtown Vancouver for about a year, and I think I smiled and nodded to my neighbors once.

That's just one of many things though.
that could be any rural area. of course it won't be like that in any downtown area. regardless, thailand is pretty corrupt, its a fact. cops are bought for a few bucks because everyone is so poor..anyways if you like it there thats great.
