Dangerous three Southeast Asian countries, where more than 500 Australian tourists die a yea

The deaths of Australians in Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand have soared.


According to the Daily Mail, Australians appear to be increasingly dangerous to travel to Southeast Asian countries, with alarming rates of death, injury and capture.

Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand are reported to be the three countries with the highest number of deaths overseas, and the number has soared.

In 2017-18, 238 Australians died in Thailand, up 17 percent from the previous year, up 17 percent from the previous year in the Philippines, 21 percent more in Indonesia and 117 in Indonesia, an increase of 9 percent.

On Feb. 9, a man from Melbourne was brutally beaten and killed by at least five men at a bar in (Pattaya), Pattaya, Thailand.

On Oct. 17, a 32-year-old man from Perth died in (North Kuta), North Kuta, Indonesia. He accidentally hit the church of Santo Paulus while riding a motorcycle and sustained serious head injuries.

In addition, on 15 October, a 70-year-old Australian man was shot at a rental house in Ilocos Sur, Philippines.

Over the past 12 months, 1600 Australians have died overseas, 2500 have lost news and 1585 have been admitted overseas, according to data released Friday by the Australian Foreign Affairs and Trade Department's (DFAT). This equates to one Australian dying or seriously injured overseas every two and a half hours.

In addition, 1540 people were arrested overseas. Of these, 385 Australians were sent to immigration detention centres because of denial of entry or violation of visa requirements. As Thailand tightens immigration policy, the number of Australians arrested in the country for such problems has increased by 72 percent.

It is understood that over the past year, the Australian has carried out a total of 1,070 million overseas trips, an increase of 14 per cent over the past five years.
