Southeast Asian countries are the friendliest in the world

Southeast Asian countries are the friendliest in the world

Kristin Mariano

- October 18, 2021

Travelling to foreign countries can be frightening as you roam the destination without knowing the local language and without anyone to guide you.

British travel guide book Rough Guides asked their Twitter and Facebook friends and followers which country they thought was the friendliest in the world. Everywhere from Albania to Uganda was mentioned but Cambodia was voted the friendliest country in the world.

Cambodia was by far the top answer in our poll and a popular choice among staff members and Rough Guides Twitter followers alike. The poll was dominated by Southeast Asian countries proving that friendly people reside in this part of the world.

The top 10 friendliest countries are:

Cambodia

Philippines

Laos

Nepal

Thailand

Myanmar

Indonesia

Fiji

Scotland

Sri Lanka

May we all strive to emulate her virtues and remember that true wealth lies in the depth of our character, the sincerity of our actions, and the impact we have on those around us.”
