A volatile place at the moment with a lot of political issues currently going on. Technically a city within Thailand.
Organized crime is a huge problem in the city and petty thieves are everywhere.
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil

Only a short while ago it was one of the most dangerous cities to visit.
Strangely, many people consider the areas with the most crime to be tourist destinations, where muggings, robberies, and kidnapping happen.
Israel

A very popular tourist destination due to its history and religious significance, but unfortunately it has become more of a war zone than a holy land in the past ten years.
It’s not uncommon for rockets to level whole areas, with or without tourists inside.
Bogota, Columbia

Safer today than it was a few years ago, Bogota’s government and police forces are working hard to make it safer for tourists.
The rural areas outlying the city are rife with a petty crime that inevitably seeps into the city.
Mumbai, India

There are tons of things to do in Mumbai, but women should be especially careful not to travel alone because crimes against women are common.
If you are not alert you could end up getting robbed or scammed.
Haiti And The Dominican Republic

Make sure you stay in your resort when visiting here. Even though you might be tempted to explore further you could lose everything.
From tampered-with ATMs and the everyday muggings, theft, or worse — kidnappings.
Cape Town, South Africa
YouTube/FactsVerse
The beautiful landscape of Cape Town with its flat-topped mountain is a very popular tourist destination.
If you are caught in a mugging or theft don’t except any help from the police. They are known to be extremely corrupt, but they might accept a bribe if you really need a hand.
Acapulco, Mexico
YouTube/FactsVerse
Listed by Business Insider Magazine as the third most violent city in the world and notorious for robbery.
Assaults are rampant, despite Acapulco being the largest tourist destination in Mexico.
Pattaya Elephant Kingdom
YouTube/FactsVerse
This is the only place on the list where it isn’t the city that is dangerous but the attraction itself. You board a raft in severely alligator-infested waters that aren’t particularly well made.
Lean over too far and you’ll be an alligator lunch.
