Thailand is a beloved travel destination for many tourists from Europe, America, and Asia, but recently the well-known British insurance company Endsleigh compiled a “World’s Most Dangerous Countries for Travel” list based on 2017 travel insurance claim data, indicating that Thailand topped the list due to the highest number of travel insurance claims, with Chile and the United States tied for second place.

The insurer cited the reasons for Thailand’s danger as, aside from Bangkok, many areas lacking public transportation, forcing tourists to rent motorcycles. This not only increases the risk of traffic accidents for travelers in Thailand, but the country also frequently reports incidents of theft, robbery, along with threats of terrorist attacks.

In addition, France, Spain, and Germany were also on the list. Among them, the reasons tourists visiting France and Spain file claims with insurers are usually related to pickpocketing. Also included in the list of the most dangerous countries for travel are Nepal, Peru, the Bahamas, and Brazil.
