Surprised to see people suggest blockchain.info *sigh*

I'd go with Trezor or paper wallet (paper if you know what you're doing...)

Either they have no basis of cryptography or they really don't know that if they not hold (control) their private keys they have nothing.
They should go tell Mt.Gox, Mintpal and Co. what does it mean when a third-party controls "our" keys for us.

As of my wallets, cold storage for savings and Mycelium on Android for everyday use.

There is nothing called safest wallet - every method has flaws and hence every wallet has flaws too. However to be safe use a hardware wallet, do not use online wallets, use Armory and make a cold storage, makes sure not to use a Brainwallet. Also use different passwords in different sites and do not reuse them. Makes sure not to share private keys with anyone.

The safest way to secure your Bitcoins is to use a hardware wallet. And make sure you keep all of their seeds in some safe document in your main PC adn you will never forget your password Smiley

Thousands of people are using block chain.info every day with large amounts of bitcoins because it's almost safe and reliable, but if you want 100% safe you could use hardware wallets or paper wallets, you really shouldn't focus on safety like it's all that matters, because many people are working day and night just to make sure we are safe using anything online.

I am using an online wallet called coinbase. and it is safe to me and no charge for making transaction (upto 40 free transaction per day)

Anytime you use an online wallet it is not safe, you are trusting that they do not make a mistake with your money. This is no different than the bank, one of bitcoin's features is being able to secure your own funds. I suggest you do a little research into the variety of secure options you have.

Well this is a funny subject, you mentioned you live in a country which makes importing a hardware wallet difficult. I would recommend you really consider your options to circumvent these restrictions.

They're is no better option than a Trezor, everything else is second rate. For smaller amounts use Mycellium or Breadwallet - but ultimately you need that vault to sleep well.

This has to be one of the most indestructible cold storage wallets:

Literally made of steel. I don't think anything other than an atomic bomb would destroy this. 
So as long as you didn't lose it, you could put it in a safe somewhere and always have access to your cold storage account.

For me blockchain is the safest wallet because bitcoins run first in this wallet. But the disadvantage of this is blockchain have when transferrings coins from another wallet. So it is better to transfer your fund if its more bitcoins.

People do not listen to this advice. The safest way to store bitcoins is thru cold storage. Never ever store really large amounts in a webwallet. Webwallets are a constant target of hackers.
You're wrong they are not wanna for suggesting the people about good suggestion but just making a spam post in here. maybe it's will be the correct reason for them is suggesting about blockchain. LOL

And how about combine trezor and offline wallet?whether that is will running smoothly of will have some trouble for combining trezor and offline wallet ? Huh

You may buy a small server, install bitcoin wallet and store the coins there. If you need the mBTCs then simply switch the server on, run the bitcoin wallet and send to the destination adddress. After that you can switch off.
Alternatively, you can store the bitcoins in a tresor of a trusted bitcoin wallet.

If you are going to use Electrum for cold storage your wallet is kept on an offline computer never to be connected to the internet again. That way your private keys are safe from malware. Study the link to Electrum cold storage I posted earlier. If that does not work for you sorry.

I did consider cold storage and I'm still thinking about it, but again I don't see the difference between that and booting into a liveCD as an "offline" wallet since if the HDD/SSD don't have access to the liveCD OS (think ubuntu without any disks mounted but the USB with the wallet .dat) and is not connected to the internet, how is that different from using another computer that's offline?

Besides wont malware copy itself from the USB you are using to sign your transaction from the live computer to the offline computer and steal your private key?

Use different wallets in different PC-s or Laptop or even Ipad and Android Devices. Chances are really low that all of these devices will get hacked at the same time. Just make sure you keep all of their seeds in some safe document in your main PC and also their passwords so you will not forget them. If you are still afraid then buy a hardware wallet like Trezor or Ledger.

Online wallets are never safe. They are a constant target to hackers. If you are using one at least use 2FA and do not deposit large amounts in it. We have seen too much people being victims of hacks that it is not enough to remind everyone to be careful online. We should make an effort ourselves to remind and be reminded over and over to make it a habit to be secure.
