Currently, $1200 and this is a good price. There was some pricing error back in the Summer where the tickets were $850. That was a pricing error. If you can get something 1-1200, that's as good as it's going to get.

Can you tell me some of the no-go areas in bigger Thailand cities?

Super easy for many reasons. Even Thai airlines don't have huge mark ups on last minute flights.

Depends on where you stay. If you stay in backpacker ghettos sharing rooms and stuff you may tempt some other poor backpacking kids who are trying to live on $5/day. Otherwise, you're fine. Another thing is actually using the camera on the street. In Thailand, people don't care and don't eye ball your equipment. In many other countries, it's not as easy. Personally, I have a Pacsafe backpack that I lock to something in hotel rooms - that should minimize crimes of opportunity.
