Portugal is an appealing destination for some Thai visitors due to its rich culture and natural beauty. Although the country's popularity has varied over time, recent trends show a gradual increase in foreign tourist arrivals. With approximately 10.4 million Thais traveling abroad each year, there is potential interest in visiting Portugal among this group.
Portugal is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Thailand. It ranks 15th among 40 European countries for safety while walking alone at night, and according to the Global Peace Index, it is the 7th safest country out of 160 worldwide, significantly safer than Thailand, which ranks 73rd. In terms of crime statistics, Portugal has a much lower murder rate of 0.8 per 100,000 people compared to Thailand's 4.9. Female murder rates also reflect this trend, with Portugal at 0.6 and Thailand at 1.2. The Global Organized Crime Index indicates that while both countries face challenges, Portugal generally has lower indices for various forms of organized crime compared to Thailand. For instance, Portugal's score for mafia groups is 4.5, while Thailand's is 1.5, indicating a higher prevalence of organized crime in Thailand. Overall, tourists from Thailand can feel relatively safe visiting Portugal, given its favorable safety rankings and lower crime rates.
