well, Golden Mile is alright. Pretty much safe if in the first place you go there genuinely for the authentic thai food or thai music or thai beer.
I am not Thai, but I used to go to the Thai disco there, that is called "Thai Disco" at a frequency of "8 nites a week instead of the usual 7" ahhahaha! thats just how often I go there! all because I like to eat Thai food, listen to Thai music and guzzle Thai beer.
I brought my Nederlandse friends, male and female, there and they were just so delighted with the whole place. dit is erg lekker zij zeggen!
I am female and asian and no one has mistaken me for a prostitute there, so I conclude that the factor of sleaze for Golden Mile is all in the mind
PS: we do have a "male cat" after that night of binge drinking with my friends though, so do not underestimate the strengths of Thai beer... hahahahahah!
