Is it dangerous to have bare feet walking around Bangkok ?
I know its a hot coutry but do Thais get lots of foot injuries like small accident example step on glass or slip in water ? etc or maybe a fat person step on there toes ??

Bangkok is not clean by any means, so walking around bare feet is not a great idea....but trust me you can't walk with shoes on...it gets way too hot at times...get a flip flop wherever you see one.

I wouldn't even come to such an idea.. *Headshaking*

Yes, I would think it will be quite dangerous walking bare foot in Bangkok. It is hot as you say, so you will need to develop thick foot, then yes lots of dog poops, broken glasses, and sharp pieces of rocks. But, oddly monks do, especially in the morning when they go collecting food offerings. But, of course monks only do it in the morning as a tradition dated back 2500 years when Buddha ruled out that monks roaming around with shoes will step on people's farms and kill the produces.

Unless, you'd like to go walking meditation in the morning collecting food offering (given you ordained) I suggest you wear some kind of foot wear. At least a slipper.

It is unheathy to go barefooted anywhere. Not only because of the dangers you can see,but also the ones you cannot. Such as parasites, found even more so in third world countries. countries with poor sanitation practices. wear your shoes!
