What are the precautions for traveling to Thailand?

Nowadays, people like to travel abroad more and more, mainly because they earn more money, so they want to go abroad, see a wider world, walk around, enrich their experience and broaden their horizons. In view of the length of holidays, Thailand, a tourist country close to Southeast Asia, has become the best place to go, with islands, fruits and an open social environment.

1, remember to buy overseas travel insurance.

According to Thai laws and relevant regulations, accident claims follow the principle of insurance compensation, and the main channels are travel agency purchase, self-brought tickets or tourists' own purchase.

The scenic spots involved usually pay a small amount of medical expenses as appropriate, but they do not accept the demands of the parties for mental compensation. Thailand's insurance accident compensation is low, which is not enough to pay for major injuries and medical expenses. It is suggested that tourists to Thailand, especially self-help tourists, buy overseas travel insurance from regular insurance companies before leaving the country, or buy local personal accident insurance and car rental insurance after arriving in Thailand, so as to enhance their economic security ability and deal with unexpected accidents before they happen.

2. Consciously abide by traffic laws and regulations and carefully choose tourism projects.

There are frequent rains and steep mountains in northern Thailand, which are prone to accidents. Try not to rent a car or a motorcycle to play. Thailand's driving direction is right rudder and left rudder. Contrary to China, the risk factor of renting and driving motorcycles is extremely high. Moreover, driving in Thailand with only a China driver's license is not protected by law, and you should bear the corresponding responsibilities in case of an accident. It is recommended to choose local public transportation or chartered bus to visit the scenic spots.

Remember to wear a helmet when driving a motorcycle. During driving, be sure to let the car going straight across the street pass first, and make sure that there is no oncoming car in sight before turning and turning around. Pedestrians should be extra careful when crossing the road. Vehicles in Thailand drive with the right rudder on the left. The driving direction is opposite to that in China, and the speed is fast. Tourists should "look around" to ensure that they can pass quickly under safe conditions.

When shopping in Thailand, especially when buying valuables, tourists should choose regular department stores and shopping malls and ask for receipts. Pay attention to the security of transaction information when using bank cards, and don't spend money by swiping cards in informal shops. In case of disputes between group tourists and package travel agencies on hotels, tourism projects, fees, etc., they should rationally safeguard their rights according to law, keep good evidence, and complain to the National Tourism Administration (1230 1) after returning home, and solve them through administrative and judicial means.

4, pay attention to theft, law-abiding.

The security situation in northern Thailand is generally good, but tourists still need to take good care of their belongings and valuables. It is suggested to avoid the separation of people and bags when traveling, visiting and shopping, and keep documents and property separately. Don't show off your wealth in public places, don't carry a lot of cash with you, and don't store valuables in hotel rooms. Lock the doors and windows when you rest at night. It is suggested to reduce going out late at night and try to go together.
