Head of mission: Mr. Rolandas Valiūnas, Honorary Consul (as of 2010)
Thailand offers a vibrant culture, warm hospitality, rich history, enticing cuisine, and beautiful beaches, making it an appealing destination for some Lithuanian travelers. With around 700,000 Lithuanians traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Thailand an interesting option, despite its modest ranking in global tourist arrivals.
Thailand is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those from Lithuania. According to the Global Peace Index, Thailand ranks 73rd out of 160 countries, while Lithuania is ranked 31st, indicating that Lithuania is safer overall. In terms of crime statistics, Lithuania has a lower murder rate at 2.6 per 100,000 people compared to Thailand's 4.9. Additionally, while Lithuania has lower indices for organized crime, Thailand faces challenges with human trafficking and various forms of organized crime, reflected in higher scores on the Global Organized Crime Index. Overall, while tourists from Lithuania may find Thailand to be safe, it's advisable to remain vigilant and informed about local conditions and safety practices.
