Chiang Mai Ranked No.1 for the Safest City in Southeast Asia

(CTN News) – According to a recent study, the Thai city of Chiang Mai in the north is the safest in Southeast Asia and the 31st globally.

The results were released in the biggest crowd-sourced worldwide database that records this information, Number’s City 2023 Crime Index and Safety Index.

With a safety score of 75.5 and a crime index of 24.5, Chiang Mai was rated as the safest city in Southeast Asia.

The crime index shows the amount of crime in a certain city, while the safety index gauges how safe it is thought to be to walk alone both during the day and at night.

With a crime index of 11.2 and a safety rating of 88.8, Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, was named the safest city in the world. Caracas, Venezuela, was rated as the least secure city, with a safety rating of 16.4 and a crime index of 83.6.

Southeast Asia’s seventh-ranked city, Bangkok, has a safety value of 59.5 and a crime index of 40.5.

Even if the score is lower than Chiang Mai, it demonstrates the government’s efforts to reduce crime, enhance the lives of its inhabitants, and inspire trust in international tourists.

 

The government organizations in charge of ensuring safety and security across the nation have received praise from Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha.

He commended their efforts to combat crime, enhance people’s lives, and increase foreigners’ trust.

Three notable safe cities include Quebec City, the safest in North America and sixth overall; Taiwan rated third and first in Asia; and San Sebastian, Spain, ranked eighth worldwide and is the safest city in Europe. The 26th safest American city is Irvine, a suburb of Los Angeles.

On the opposite end of the scale, South Africa has the distinction of having two of the worst three cities, with Pretoria coming in second and Durban coming third.

Preston, in the UK, is fourth from the bottom, just ahead of Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea, where cannibalism is still practiced.

Baltimore is the worst city in the US, coming in at number 405, ahead of Memphis, Tennessee, at number 403, and Detroit, which is often cited as an example of an out-of-control hazardous metropolis, at number 402.

A crowd-sourced database called Numbeo offers data on housing, crime, health, transit, cost of living, and other topics.

The website is renowned for its thorough statistics and is used internationally to assess living standards in different places.
