Following the death of a fellow travel influencer in Georgia, popular Thai YouTuber 'Sunny' has shared his personal ranking of the five most dangerous countries he has visited.

Following the tragic death of travel influencer Hlun Solo in Georgia, concerns have been raised regarding the safety of solo adventurers. In response, 'Sunny,' the creator behind the popular Thai YouTube channel 'BACKPAEGER'—which boasts 1.29 million subscribers—shared his reflections on the risks inherent in solo travel.

Drawing from his experience visiting 63 countries, Sunny expressed his shock at the recent news, noting that he remains committed to his own ongoing 10-month travel itinerary, with plans to return to Thailand in mid-2027. He emphasized the unpredictable nature of his lifestyle, stating, "Every time I leave home, I never know if I will make it back."

As part of his commentary, Sunny published a personal list ranking the five countries he considers the most dangerous based on his own travels. He identified Mexico as the first entry on this list. This disclosure has sparked significant discussion among his followers regarding the realities of adventure tourism. While Sunny continues his journey, the incident serves as a reminder of the safety considerations for those traveling independently. It remains to be seen how his experiences will influence his future content or travel plans as he continues his global expedition.
