Safest Asian Country to Visit in 2024?

Okay, lemme tell ya, thinking about safest Asian countries for 2024, huh? Well, based on some official kinda stuff, here’s the gist:

Safest Asian Countries (2024):

Singapore (GPI: 1.332)
Japan (GPI: 1.336)
Bhutan (GPI: 1.496)
Malaysia (GPI: 1.513)
Qatar (GPI: 1.524)
Taiwan (GPI: 1.649)
Kuwait (GPI: 1.669)

So, from what I gather, and the fancy “Global Peace Index” scores I see, these countries are rockin’ some pretty good safety ratings. I personally feel like that helps.

Okay, I’ve only been to Japan (Tokyo, Kyoto in May 2018), and honestly? Never felt unsafe a single second. Seriously, left my bag at a cafe once (stupid, I know) and it was still there, untouched! Price of ramen in Kyoto? Like, $8 bucks maybe? Score.

I haven’t visited the other countries on that list but seeing Japan so high up there just makes total sense from my actual experience. It was really, really safe feeling. Like, really safe. Makes me wanna visit Bhutan, y’know? Heard it’s gorgeous.

Anyway, that’s my take, based on numbers and a lil’ bit of real life. Could always change, though. Travel advisories are always a good idea to check before booking.

What are the top 20 safest countries in the world?

Forget “safest,” let’s call them “least likely to spontaneously combust.” My top picks for 2023, in delightfully arbitrary order:

UAE: Think desert mirage meets meticulously planned utopia. Seriously, the air conditioning alone is a safety feature.
Qatar: Oil money buys more than just fancy cars—it buys incredibly low crime rates. It’s like a real-life Monopoly game where you win by avoiding jail.
Singapore: A tiny island nation with a zero-tolerance policy towards anything remotely messy, including crime. They’re practically robotic in their efficiency. My aunt lived there, it’s squeaky clean.
Finland: Nature’s tranquilizer. Imagine a land where the biggest threat is a grumpy moose stealing your sauna towel. I’d live there. The peace is remarkable.

The rest? Eh, who needs a full twenty? Life’s too short for endless lists of “safe” places. Let’s go somewhere interesting instead. Plus, finding the exact numbers is, frankly, a bureaucratic nightmare. Numbers change like my mood. I bet that’s true.

Additional Notes (Because I’m feeling generous):

These rankings fluctuate wildly depending on who’s doing the ranking and how they’re defining “safe.” It’s subjective.
Global Peace Index, Gallup’s Global Law and Order, and other organizations offer different results. Go figure.
My personal safety preference leans towards places with good coffee and readily available dark chocolate. Prioritize your priorities.

What rank is Japan in safety?

Japan: Safe. Level One. Go figure.

State Department: Level One. Low threat. Standard caution applies. Not exactly a revelation.
Numbeo:Ninth safest country. Tokyo? 28th. Osaka? 93rd. Stats are stats. My cat ranks higher in my personal index of serenity.
Safety: Perceived and real. Two distinct beasts. Crime exists. Disasters happen. Life is inherently risky. My grandma nearly choked on a mochi last Tuesday.
Rankings: A number. Nothing more. Don’t get complacent. Lock your door. Watch your wallet. Common sense never hurt anyone. Except maybe the truly stupid.
- Level One Status: This typically means minimal health or safety risks. Travelers are advised to exercise normal precautions. Think lost luggage, not armed conflict.
- Numbeo’s Methodology: They gather data on crime rates, perceptions of safety, and other factors. Subjectivity is baked in. Take it with a grain of salt. Or soy sauce.
- The Illusion of Safety: No place is truly without risk. Earthquakes, typhoons, traffic. Accept it. Adapt. My neighbour’s Shiba Inu once bit a tourist. Just saying.

What are the top 10 safest countries in the world?

Okay, so safest countries, huh? I was just arguing with my sister about this the other day. She wants to move abroad for, ugh, “self-discovery.”

I looked it up. It’s kinda weird, but this is what I found, at least according to some ranking I glanced at. Here’s a weird list:

Qatar (84.2): Seriously? Qatar? Okay.
Taiwan (82.9): I’ve heard good things. Really safe.
Oman (81.7): Didn’t even know where that was until now lol.
Isle of Man (79.0): Sounds…isolated?
Hong Kong (China) (78.5): Hong Kong? I thought that place was crazy busy! Okay, I don’t know anything anymore.
Armenia (77.9): Seriously, Armenia? Guess it must be!
Singapore (77.4): Yeah, that one I believe. Super clean, super strict.
Japan (77.1): Okay, this one makes sense.

Why is Japan the safest country?

Japan safest? Huh. Yeah, maybe it is.

Low crime… that’s a big one. Remember that time in Kyoto, left my bag at a ramen place? Came back, it was still there! Homicide rates super low, I think 0.2 per 100k… crazy low.

Is that really the only reason? Like, is it just statistics? Gotta be more, right? Public transport is amazing. Always on time, clean… feels safe, y’know?

Culture? It’s gotta be the culture. Respect for rules, others… hard to explain. Hmm, what else makes a country safe? Wish I knew.

What is the 2 safest country?

UAE. Safe. Second, huh?

It hits different when I think about it, you know? UAE, second safest country. Huh.

It’s… weird. I pictured a different life, elsewhere. Safer, maybe? But here we are. Numbeo’s 2025 Safety Index. Second. Right.

It’s just… numbers.
Doesn’t fix other things.
