A new survey shows Southeast Asian travelers reconsidering trips to the United States. Milieu Insight surveyed 6,000 people from Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Malaysia. About one in four said their interest in US travel has faded over the past six months. For many, safety, discrimination, political developments, and gun violence weigh more than cost or distance.

For Thai readers and regional families, the findings reflect a shifting travel calculus. The United States remains a premier long-haul destination with renowned universities, shopping, theme parks, and major cities. Yet concerns about safety and political rhetoric are changing how people plan.
