"Ho Chi Minh City is generally considered to be a safe city, with low levels of crime. However, petty crime such as pickpocketing and bag snatching is common in crowded areas, and visitors should take precautions to protect their belongings. Violent crime is rare, but visitors should still exercise caution when travelling alone at night," wrote a member who made the move to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
