Report Thailand Named World’s Safest Holiday Destination in 2025
File photo Thailand has claimed the title of the safest holiday destination in the world, according to a recent analysis by Travelbag, a UK-based long-haul travel specialist. This accolade is based on detailed data from Numbeo, an extensive user-contributed database providing insights on cities and countries globally. Thailand emerged as a leader in safety, surpassing popular destinations like Seychelles, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam. Its blend of high safety scores and renowned warm hospitality contributed significantly to its top ranking. Travelbag’s report shines a light on Thailand’s myriad attractions, including its breathtaking landscapes and enriching cultural experiences. The nation boasts a "safety walking at night" score of 61.53, the highest among the top five ranked countries. Visitors, therefore, enjoy peace of mind while exploring Thailand’s vibrant streets and scenic locales, even after dark. This enhanced sense of security complements the country's already appealing features, such as its bustling night markets and tranquil island getaways. The report underlines that Thailand's allure is not just superficial. Its well-developed tourism infrastructure plays a crucial role in its safety ranking. Modern amenities are easily accessible in major cities, while the local culture emphasises community and hospitality, writes Gregers Møller for ScandAsia. Travellers can confidently navigate the buzzing streets, island-hop in the crystal-clear waters, or embark on adventurous jungle treks, knowing that they are in safe hands. In a broader regional context, Numbeo's 2025 data highlights that Chiang Mai is now the safest city in ASEAN, boasting an impressive safety index score of 78.2. This northern city, known for its rich history and cultural sites, offers a secure environment for tourists and residents alike. Other Thai cities, such as Bangkok and Pattaya, also featured in the region's top ten safest cities, reinforcing Thailand’s comprehensive commitment to safety across its urban centres. Singapore, while traditionally strong in national safety rankings, finds its regional dominance challenged by Thailand's performance in multiple cities. Thailand's ability to provide safe environments in different locales makes it particularly attractive for globetrotters aiming to explore various spots within a single trip. This multi-city appeal adds another layer to its already strong tourism proposition. For thousands of Nordic tourists and expatriates who annually flock to Thailand, the latest safety rankings come as no surprise. Their experiences resonate with the findings, demonstrating that Thailand is not merely an exciting destination but a secure one as well. Whether wandering alone through Chiang Mai’s ancient streets, navigating Bangkok’s efficient public transport, or unwinding on Krabi’s serene beaches, visitors consistently encounter a blend of friendliness, community awareness, and robust infrastructure. Thailand’s recognition as the safest holiday spot globally serves as a testament to its ongoing efforts to provide travellers with both unforgettable adventures and the tranquillity of knowing they are safe. These latest accolades bolster its status as a must-visit location, particularly for those valuing both thrill and peace. With its lush landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and top-ranked safety, Adapted by ASEAN Now from ScandAsia 2025-07-10 -

Crime CIB Nabs Fugitive Gold Snatcher After 12 Years on the Run
Picture courtesy of CIB Officers from The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) have arrested a man who had been evading capture for more than 12 years after allegedly snatching a gold necklace while riding a borrowed motorcycle. The arrest was made by the Special Operations Division of the CIB. The suspect, identified as Mr. Chatree aged 39, was apprehended outside a residence in Moo 5, Phra Khao Subdistrict, Bang Ban District, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province. He faces charges of “snatching property using a vehicle to facilitate the offence, escape or conceal the stolen property.” The crime occurred on 12 July 2013, when a lone assailant riding a motorcycle approached a victim from behind and violently grabbed a gold necklace along with a gold-framed amulet pendant. The perpetrator then fled the scene. Upon reporting the incident to local police, the victim was shown CCTV footage, which identified Mr. Chatree as the assailant. The owner of the motorcycle confirmed that Mr. Chatree had borrowed the vehicle at the time of the crime. A court subsequently issued an arrest warrant for him. Despite the warrant, Mr. Chatree managed to avoid capture for more than a decade. Investigators eventually tracked him to a remote location in Bang Ban District, where he had been living under the radar. Acting on this intelligence, officers moved in and identified him outside an unnumbered house in Moo 5. The police team presented the arrest warrant, informed the suspect of his legal rights, and took him into custody without resistance. He was then handed over to investigators at Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Police Station for prosecution in accordance with the law. Adapted by Asean Now from CIB 2025-07-10 -
