Cambodia offers a unique blend of rich history and stunning landscapes, making it an appealing destination for some Thai travelers. While it may not attract a vast number of foreign visitors, it has a vibrant tourism sector that engages a selective audience. With 10.4 million Thais traveling abroad annually, a portion is likely to be interested in exploring Cambodia.
Cambodia is considered relatively safe for tourists, particularly when compared to Thailand. According to the Global Peace Index, Cambodia ranks 68th out of 160 countries, while Thailand is ranked 73rd. In terms of murder rates, Cambodia has a significantly lower rate at 1.8 per 100,000 people, compared to Thailand's 4.9. The Global Organized Crime Index also suggests that Cambodia has a lower overall level of organized crime compared to Thailand, with indices indicating less severe issues in areas like drug trade and mafia presence. However, certain areas, such as state crime and flora/fauna crime, show higher indices for Cambodia. Overall, while no destination is without risks, Cambodia is generally safe for tourists coming from Thailand, with lower crime rates and a comparable safety ranking.
