However, visitors also need to be cautious and aware of their surroundings, especially petty crimes such as pickpockets and scams. However, with a little smarts and street awareness, visitors can easily overcome these small challenges.

Best Diplomats says that one of the safest and most popular tourist destinations in Vietnam is Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its limestone islands and crystal-clear waters. The bay is a popular destination for cruises and kayaking.

Another safe destination in Vietnam is Hoi An, an ancient town famous for its architecture, colorful lanterns, and delicious food. The old town is safe and easy to explore on foot. Finally, the capital of Vietnam, Hanoi, is also considered a popular destination for tourists.

At number 1, Singapore is the safest country in Asia. One of the reasons for Singapore’s exceptional safety record is its strict enforcement of laws and regulations. The government has a zero-tolerance policy towards crime and ensures that the streets are clean and orderly.

The country's public transport system, which includes an efficient network of buses and MRT subway trains, is also considered one of the safest in the world. Almost every street in the country is patrolled by a highly trained and professional police force.
