“Safety must be the top priority when choosing a tourist destination,” Best Diplomats emphasized right at the beginning of the article. Accordingly, the countries selected as the safest destinations in Asia include: Singapore, Japan, Bhutan, Malaysia, Qatar, Taiwan (China), Kuwait, Vietnam, the Republic of Korea and Mongolia.
Being ranked 8th on the list, Vietnam is best known for its beauty, rich culture, and delicious cuisine, according to Best Diplomats.
This year sees Vietnam’s peace index stand at 1.745. The country’s crime index score of 41.8 and safety index score of 58.2 further reinforce its reputation as a safe place to visit.
However, when visiting Vietnam, tourists also need to be careful and pay attention to the surrounding environment because pickpocketing and scams still occur in some places. If fully prepared with skills and street awareness, tourists can easily overcome these small challenges.
One of the safest and most famous places to visit in the nation is Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its limestone islands and emerald waters. The bay is a popular destination for cruises and kayaking, Best Diplomats said.
Another safe and popular destination is Hoi An, an ancient town known for its architecture, colorful lanterns and food. The town’s compact size makes it a safe and easy place to explore on foot./.
