    Overall Safety Overview – Indochina and Southeast Asia

    Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand remain three of the safest destinations in Southeast Asia for international visitors. Violent crime against tourists is extremely rare across the region. The most common concerns are petty theft (bag-snatching, pickpocketing), road safety, and occasional scams – all easily avoided with sensible precautions. Millions of travellers enjoy completely incident-free trips every year when travelling with reputable operators like Legend Travel Group.

    Cambodia Safety Tips

    Personal Safety

    • Petty theft is the main concern in Phnom Penh (riverside, Central Market) and Siem Reap (Pub Street after dark).

    • Use hotel safes and money belts. Never display large amounts of cash.

    • Avoid walking alone in poorly lit areas after 11 PM – your Legend Travel Group guide will always advise the safest routes.

    Road & Transport Safety

    • Traffic in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap can feel chaotic. All Cambodia Tours with Legend Travel Group use private, insured vehicles with professional drivers.

    • Tuk-tuks are safe during the day; for evening transfers we provide private cars.

    Health & Food Safety

    • Drink only bottled or purified water (provided free on all our tours).

    • Street food is delicious and generally safe at busy, popular stalls – your guide knows the best spots.

    Laos Safety Tips

    Personal Safety

    • Laos has one of the lowest crime rates in Southeast Asia. Vientiane, Luang Prabang, and Vang Vieng are exceptionally peaceful.

    • Bag-snatching on motorbikes is rare but can occur – carry bags on the opposite side of traffic.

    River & Adventure Safety

    • Tubing in Vang Vieng is now heavily regulated and much safer. Legend Travel Group only uses licensed operators with life jackets and sober guides.

    • Mekong River cruises on our Laos Tours use modern, stable vessels with full safety equipment.

    Health & Food Safety

    • Tap water is not potable – complimentary bottled water is provided throughout your journey.

    • Malaria risk is very low in tourist areas; dengue is the main concern – we provide repellent and long clothing advice.

    Thailand Safety Tips

    Personal Safety

    • Bangkok, Phuket, and Chiang Mai are very safe for tourists. The main risk is opportunistic theft in crowded areas (Chatuchak Market, Khao San Road).

    • All Thailand Tours include private transfers – no need for public transport or late-night taxis.

    Beach & Island Safety

    • Rip currents can be strong – always swim between the red-and-yellow flags.

    • Our selected beaches have lifeguards and our guides brief you daily on conditions.

    Nightlife Safety

    • Stick with your group and guide in nightlife areas. Never accept drinks from strangers. Legend Travel Group drivers wait for you – no need for random transport.

    Common Regional Safety Tips

    Money & Valuables

    • Use hotel safes for passports and excess cash. Carry only what you need for the day.

    • ATMs are widely available and safe in banks or malls. Avoid street-side ATMs at night.

    Scams to Avoid

    • “Closed temple” scams, gem scams, or overly cheap transport offers – your Legend Travel Group guide protects you 100%.

    Emergency Contacts (saved in every guest’s phone on Day 1)

    • Tourist Police: 1155 (Thailand) | 117 (Cambodia) | 162 (Laos)
