Two or three things you must know when going to Thailand during the Spring Festival!

The Chinese Embassy in Thailand reminded Chinese tourists who will travel to Thailand during the Spring Festival on its official website on the 24th to pay attention to their own safety in terms of travel, accommodation, and swimming. And follow the rules for bringing items into Thailand.

1. According to Thai law, each tourist is only allowed to bring one cigarette (200 cigarettes or 250 grams of tobacco) and a bottle of wine (not exceeding 1 liter) into the country. The embassy reminds you not to put multiple people’s tobacco and alcohol in one person’s luggage, or leave them alone in the airport area. Otherwise, it will be considered as over-carrying and a penalty will be paid. In addition, tobacco and alcohol purchased at duty-free shops at airports in various countries (including Thailand) are also subject to the above regulations.

2. Since this year, there have been many traffic accidents caused by Chinese citizens renting motorcycles locally. The embassy advises Chinese citizens to be cautious about renting motorcycles and choose safer modes of transportation. If you really need to rent a car, make sure you have a Thai driver's license or an international driver's license, otherwise you will be fully responsible for the accident. At the same time, do not pledge your passport and other important documents to merchants to avoid affecting subsequent itineraries.

3. The embassy reminds that Thai vehicles turn right and turn left, which is contrary to domestic driving habits, so be careful when crossing the road. Although "Moto" and "Doo-Doo" are fast and convenient, they lack necessary safety protection and should be ridden with caution. If you choose a taxi, check the meter in advance, write down the license plate and driver's license number, and take care of your belongings during the ride.

4. In terms of water safety, the embassy emphasizes "Do not go into the water when the wind and waves are strong, and follow instructions when snorkeling in the deep sea." Raising a red flag on the beach means that the sea conditions are too dangerous and you cannot go into the sea; such as stormy weather, fasting, heavy meals, drunkenness, extreme fatigue, etc. Don't go to sea. When participating in snorkeling activities, you must follow the guidance of professionals from Zhejiang Tourism, take protective measures in strict accordance with relevant safety requirements, wear a life jacket throughout the process, and ensure that you can skillfully use a mask before entering the water.

5. The embassy also reminds tourists to keep their documents and belongings and prevent bag snatching when going out late at night. It also recommends booking a hotel close to bustling areas to reduce going out late at night. If you really need to go out, try to go in groups and avoid going to remote or complicated neighborhoods; hang your backpack inside to prevent speeding cars from snatching your bag.
