VNA / VN Express ^ | Today

Posted on 01/06/2024 8:07:01 AM PST by cba123

World-leading indie travel news source Travel Off Path has listed Vietnam as the safest country to visit in Asia for 2024.

According to Travel Off Path, one of North America's largest travel news websites, safety is a primary concern for Americans traveling abroad, especially amid the current climate where conflicts are breaking out internationally and security is decreasing across a number of destinations.

Over the last few years, Asia has been no exception, but Vietnam has proven to be remarkably stable and safe for tourists, said the website.

It cited the latest Global Law and Order Index indicating Vietnam is not only the most peaceful state in Asia, but also the seventh worldwide.

I don’t know exactly.

Might be because China is literally next door.

America was here for a while, but China has always, always, always, always, always been here.

Always.

Vietnam was ruled by China for a long, long time. Now they are very, very, very insistent on fierce independence. Sure they get along with China very well. In fact that seems to be growing now.

But ALWAYS, they are wary of China. Deeply.

America? Heck just a very, very temporary inconvenience, besides it is a (wonderful) option for additional growth.

It can be a place to emmigrate to.

AND, we left after the war.

Vietnamese love America.

Even in the northern part of the country.

For real.

The Japanese have the Yakuza.

Sure they don’t usually bother visitors. But that may be something we don’t usually consider.

Otherwise the Japanese are very nearly perfect. But ...

Nothing similar in Vietnam.

Nothing but BS propaganda. Known far too many business travelers that would say Vietnam is reasonably safe, but not so safe as to make these stupid statements.

Yes and no.

I did note I myself was robbed of my phone several years ago. Even had a folloW-on attempt made later, I held onto it that time but got knocked off my bike.

That said Vietnam is changing. For the better.

Slow and steady. Improving.

The interesting thing is, the Chairwoman is, a woman.

At least that is my understanding.

That was a year or two ago, I believe.

I suspect that’s baloney. What’s your source for this? I have lived in Vietnam for 42 months so far and live here now.

Here’s an article from the Catholic News Agency (Mainstream):

https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/16255/vietnamese-government-secretly-destroys-catholic-monastery

Here’s one about Catholics’ homes being destroyed by Asia News:

Again from the Catholic News Agency, government agencies bulldoze the Archbishop’s house:

It’s fortunate that Ho Chi Minh died in 1969 before the end of the war.

It took about 10 years after reunification for the Vietnam ‘Communists’ to realize that Communism doesn’t work.

Biggest mistake we made was allowing the French to have their Indochina colonies back after WWII.
