Seventh safest in … the world.
Just quoting here. Read the article …
“Safest country” to do what?
Anything they do would be an improvement.
What about Singapore?
And they also like Americans there, especially in the South. I travel to VN often on business.
The country has developed and advanced so much since I first travelled there in the 1990s. Its a marvel.
Saigon is chaotic, but the central highlands have really nice weather and a slower pace of life. Hanoi is busy but a bit more sophisticated.
I suspect my dad would beg to differ, but times have changed. My best friend married a Vietnamese woman and he loves it there.
It might be safe but... Charlie still don’t surf.
I would expect Japan and Singapore to be the top 2 safest in the world.
The article is based on Gallup’s Law and Order Index, which uses four questions to gauge people’s sense of personal security and their personal experiences with crime and law enforcement.
1) In the city or area where you live, do you have confidence in the local police force?
2) Do you feel safe walking alone at night in the city or area where you live?
3) Within the last 12 months, have you had money or property stolen from you or another household member?
4) Within the past 12 months, have you been assaulted or mugged?

In part they are safer because of a severe Islam deficiency. I’m sure the UN would like to provide a cure.
Vietnam is safest country to visit in Asia: Travel Off Path

Didn’t used to be that way. 50,000 + Americans are not available to concur.
Good to hear. We’re stopping there on a cruise this coming March. Singapore also, which is even safer.
Was there awhile back. Didn’t seem all that safe to me.
Hmmmm...odd...Just a few weeks ago I read that Japan is not only the safest country in Asia but also 2nd safest in the world behind Finland .
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.
I much prefer Thailand. I plan to retire there.
