Laws in SEA are more like guidelines than actual laws. Yes, it's "illegal", but most cops don't care or would even approach a foreign couple.

It's only an issue if the family brings it up to the police first.

Kind of why so many dudes in SEA have GFs/wives that are 13-16 years old.

Yes, most are friendly, but it only takes one bite to get rabbies. Get vaccinated for it. Super cheap. Got mine for about 60 USD I think?

>Being close to a border

It makes leaving Thailand easier. The are where Issan meets Laos and Cambodia have the same culture. The Thai in Issan don't even speak standard Thai, they speak Issan, which is a mix of Laos, Cambodian, old Thai, and other languages.

You can move about cheaply without worrying about a visa. Laos and Cambodia make getting a visa VERY easy. Cambodia especially because it's so easy to get a business visa for one year.

As for the second point, yes. Tourist will cause most severe problems for an expat (assault, murder, kidnapping, rape). Locals might overcharge you or pinch your wallet, but that's about it.

The deranged fucking nuts that are attracted to SEA make the area worse, and it's best to stay away from them in the tourist areas.

They tend to stick close to these areas because a fresh batch of young, stupid toursit always come there every few months.

Besides, everything is more expensive in tourist cities.
