Britain’s leading insurance company, Norwich Union, surveyed 60,000 travel insurance claims from 2005 to learn where British travelers are most at risk around the world, and learned that the Czech Republic is number one for pick-pocketing, with Thailand coming in a distant second at about half the rate.

The safest countries were Ireland, Belgium, Holland, Germany and France.
