However, visitors should also be cautious and aware of their surroundings, especially petty crimes such as pickpockets and scams. However, with a little smarts and street awareness, visitors can easily overcome these minor challenges. Best Diplomats believes that one of the safest and most popular tourist destinations in Vietnam is Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its limestone islands and crystal clear waters. The bay is a popular destination for cruises and kayaking. Another safe destination in Vietnam is Hoi An, the ancient town known for its architecture, colorful lanterns, and delicious cuisine. The old town is safe and easy to explore on foot. Finally, the capital of Vietnam, Hanoi, is also considered a popular destination for tourists. At number 1, Singapore is the safest country in Asia. One of the reasons Singapore has such an exceptional safety record is its strict enforcement of laws and regulations. The government has a zero-tolerance policy towards crime and ensures that the streets are clean and orderly. The country’s public transport system, which includes an efficient network of buses and the MRT, is also considered one of the safest in the world. Almost every street in the country is patrolled by a highly trained and professional police force.
