I went 15 years ago, and Thailand was pretty safe then. I personally had no problems. There was reported to be crime, but it was of the "snatch and run" type, not violent. And I think that today there's credit card fraud sometimes inflicted on tourists, not that we don't have that here at home. At any rate, I was a rookie at overseas travel, went alone, got off the beaten track sometimes, and did fine. You will, too.
But as Pulpmind said, they do want your money. So if somebody offers you something without mentioning the price, ask the price before you say yes!
