Uruguay is an appealing destination for some Thai visitors due to its vibrant culture and scenic landscapes. As a developing tourism gem located between Brazil and Argentina, it offers diverse attractions for both leisure and business travelers. With 10.4 million Thais traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Uruguay an interesting choice.
Uruguay is generally considered a safe destination for tourists, including those coming from Thailand. According to the Global Peace Index, Uruguay ranks 51st out of 160 countries, making it safer than Thailand, which ranks 73rd. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Uruguay is 8.9 per 100,000 people, compared to Thailand's 4.9. However, when looking at organized crime indices, both countries score similarly on mafia presence (1.5), but Uruguay has lower scores in various crime categories, indicating a relatively lower risk from organized crime. For instance, Uruguay scores 2.0 in state crime and 2.5 in foreign crime, while Thailand scores higher in these areas (6.5 and 7.5, respectively). Overall, while Uruguay has a higher murder rate, its overall safety and lower organized crime scores suggest that it is a safer option for tourists compared to Thailand.
