by en large yes. I have had no reports of any violence against anyone in the last 2 years. There are accounts of hotel rooms being ripped off etc. but that is standard in any country in asia.

Yes.
The safest country in SE Asia by far is Vietnam, but Laos is a close second, followed by Thailand. Cambodia can still be the wild west at times.
As you might expect, take normal precautions and not flash a lot of cash and make sure you have reputable guides.
Enjoy.

Generally speaking, yes. Using common sense means you'll probably get out in one piece. Violent crime against foreigners occasionally takes place, but overall it's safe and women in particular find they feel more secure than in the west. The biggest problems are petty theft, scams and traffic accidents.
Some sensible actions to take:
1) Wear helmets when riding motorcycles or bikes
2) Don't go wandering aimlessly through a town or city late at night
3) Don't get drunk and pick fights with bar staff
4) Don't travel on the roads during holiday periods
