1 mission of Thailand in Uruguay: Consulate General of Thailand in Montevideo, Uruguay. Addresses, phones and contacts.
Head of mission: Mr. Alberto O. Perciavalle Bustamante, Honorary Consul General (as of 2010)
Thailand offers a vibrant culture, warm hospitality, rich history, delicious cuisine, and beautiful beaches, making it an appealing destination for some Uruguayan travelers. While it ranks modestly in terms of overall tourist arrivals, among the 2.2 million Uruguayans who travel abroad annually, a portion may find Thailand to be an interesting choice.
Thailand is generally considered a relatively safe destination for tourists, ranking 73rd out of 160 countries on the Global Peace Index. However, it is less safe compared to Uruguay, which ranks 51st. In terms of murder rates, Thailand has a lower rate at 4.9 per 100,000 people, compared to Uruguay's 8.9. Other crime statistics indicate that both countries have similar scores for mafia groups (1.5), but Thailand scores higher in several categories related to organized crime and human trafficking, indicating more challenges in these areas. Overall, while Thailand is safe for tourists, travelers from Uruguay should remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings, especially in areas known for higher crime rates.
