1 mission of Thailand in Belarus: Consulate of Thailand in Minsk, Belarus. Addresses, phones and contacts.
Head of mission: Mr. Ivan Chura, Honorary Consul (confirmed in the diplomatic list of Belarus, 3 Sep 2024)
Thailand is an appealing destination for some travelers from Belarus, thanks to its vibrant culture, warm hospitality, rich history, delicious cuisine, and beautiful beaches. While it may not be among the top choices for all tourists, a portion of the approximately 500,000 Belarusians who travel abroad each year could find Thailand an attractive option.
Thailand is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those from Belarus. According to the Global Peace Index, Thailand ranks 73rd out of 160 countries, while Belarus ranks lower at 110th. Although Thailand has a higher murder rate (4.9 per 100,000 people) compared to Belarus (2.4), it is important to note that the murder rate for women is lower in Thailand (1.2) than in Belarus (1.7). In terms of organized crime, Thailand has a better score for mafia groups (1.5) compared to Belarus (4.0), indicating a lower presence of organized crime. However, both countries have similar scores for crime networks (5.0). Overall, while there are some safety concerns, Thailand is considered safer than Belarus based on various crime indices and global rankings. Tourists should always exercise standard precautions while traveling.
