Thailand offers a vibrant culture, warm hospitality, rich history, enticing cuisine, and beautiful beaches, making it an appealing destination for some of Papua New Guinea's 10 million residents. However, it ranks modestly in terms of overall tourist arrivals.
Thailand is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, including those from Papua New Guinea. According to the Global Peace Index, Thailand ranks 73rd out of 160 countries, making it safer than Papua New Guinea, which ranks 113th. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Thailand is 4.9 per 100,000 people, compared to Papua New Guinea's rate of 9.8. Additionally, the rate of female murders in Thailand is 1.2, while data for Papua New Guinea is not available. The Global Organized Crime Index also indicates that Thailand has lower scores in several crime categories compared to Papua New Guinea. For example, mafia groups score 1.5 in Thailand versus 1.0 in Papua New Guinea, while crime networks score 5.0 in Thailand compared to 8.0 in Papua New Guinea. Overall, while no destination is without risks, Thailand presents a safer environment for tourists compared to Papua New Guinea based on these metrics.
