How secure and friendly are Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia?

1, Myanmar

Safety index: ★★★

Influenced by China's films and literature, many people in China think that the "Golden Triangle" at the junction of China, Myanmar and Thailand is an area where pornography, gambling, drugs or triad societies are prevalent. In fact, Myanmar has a good public security situation and simple folk customs, and there are few major criminal cases. Burmese people are also more polite and amiable. If you want to go to Myanmar, don't worry that the people there are not enthusiastic enough. There is only enthusiasm that you can't expect, and there is no enthusiasm that they can't do.

2. Laos

Safety index: ★★★★★★★

Here, I can tell you responsibly that the law and order in Laos is very good. In Buddhist countries, people speak in a low voice and are friendly to others. The main reason is that the local people in Laos are more comfortable, while the people in the lower classes are basically muddling along and easy-going.

3. Vietnam

Safety index: ★★★★★

Many tourists may have some misunderstandings about Vietnam. In fact, Vietnam is not so terrible, but it is terrible in the news. In fact, Vietnamese people are quite popular with China people. The reason is that Vietnamese people are naturally grateful for the strong support of China tourists to Vietnamese culture.

4. Cambodia

Safety index: ★★★★★

Cambodia, a magical land in Indochina Peninsula, has poor local infrastructure, but the overall public security is rampant. As long as you don't come back too late at night and don't go to remote places in Cambodia, there is no problem at all. No matter where you are, your family will tell you not to go to remote places at night, and so will Cambodia. Especially in a tourist city like Siem Reap (where Angkor Wat is located), people there are very idle and friendly.

Extended data:

Taboos in tourism in Southeast Asian countries;

1, regarding cows as gods.

In India, cows are the favorite animals of Hindus and are regarded as sacred and inviolable, and no one can hurt them. Cattle walk freely in the street and are best protected. Someone solemnly said: when driving in India, you should be especially careful of cows. Even if you want to enter a Hindu temple, you must never wear anything made of cowhide.

2. Never ride on the Buddha to take pictures.

In the Buddhist countries of Southeast Asia, it is considered a heinous crime for tourists to act rashly against temples, Buddha statues and monks. Some tourists with unknown interests were punished for sitting astride the Buddha statue and taking commemorative photos.

Don't put the Buddha souvenirs you want to take back on the ground?

Although the Buddha statues purchased in Buddhist countries belong to themselves, they must be respected. For example, if there is nothing, it will be placed casually or moved roughly, which will cause unhappiness in that country.

4. Keep a low profile when talking to monks?

When you travel to Sri Lanka and other Buddhist countries, you will often see people talking to monks, but as long as you look closely, you will find that ordinary people will never sit higher than monks. They will try their best to make their heads lower than those of monks. They will be as expensive as presidents or prime ministers, and they will abide by this principle.
