1 mission of Thailand in Malta: Consulate General of Thailand in Valletta, Malta. Addresses, phones and contacts.
Head of mission: Mr. Francis Carbonaro, Honorary Consul General (as of 2023)
Thailand offers a vibrant culture, warm hospitality, rich history, enticing cuisine, and beautiful beaches, making it an appealing destination for some Maltese travelers. With around 200,000 Maltese traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Thailand an interesting option, despite the country ranking modestly in terms of overall tourist arrivals.
Thailand's safety for tourists from Malta can be assessed through various metrics. While Malta is relatively safe, ranking 26th among 40 European countries for safety when walking alone at night, Thailand lacks specific data for this metric. According to the Global Peace Index, Thailand is ranked 73rd out of 160 countries, indicating a moderate level of safety. In terms of crime statistics, Malta has a significantly lower murder rate at 0.4 per 100,000 people compared to Thailand's 4.9. Additionally, Malta reports no female murders, while Thailand has a rate of 1.2. The Global Organized Crime Index shows that both countries have the same score for mafia groups (1.5), but Thailand has higher scores in various crime categories, indicating more organized crime activity. For instance, Thailand scores 5.0 for crime networks and 7.5 for foreign crime, while Malta scores 7.0 and 5.0, respectively. Overall, while Thailand offers many attractions for tourists, it is essential for visitors from Malta to stay informed about local safety conditions and take necessary precautions.
