What should I pay attention to when traveling to Thailand?

When traveling to Thailand, we need to pay attention to the safety of wading, traffic, property, boat and food.

first, wading safety.

Many tourist attractions in Thailand are near the sea. In monsoon season, the winds and waves in the surrounding waters are high, the sea conditions are changing rapidly, and safety accidents such as snorkeling and swimming are frequent. Life jackets must be worn throughout the wading project, and snorkelers should receive formal training. Master the use of snorkeling equipment. Elderly people, patients with hypertension and heart disease should not snorkel.

second, traffic safety.

Thailand's right rudder goes left. When crossing the road, you should look right first, then left, and pay attention to avoid "motorcycle". Choose a taxi that is willing to hit the meter, and write down the license plate and driver's license information at the left front windshield. In the event of a traffic accident, immediately call the police (191); Casualties, call an ambulance (1669, 1691, 1554, 1555). ?

third, property safety.

pay attention to keeping property, certificates, etc. In Bangkok, Pataia, Phuket, Samui and other places, there are frequent cases of car robbery, bank card theft and hotel luggage and property theft.

iv. safety by boat.

Please choose a regular travel company and shipping company, and you should know whether there is travel accident insurance and the scope of claims before signing up; Understand the weather and sea conditions of the day. If the weather is bad, the wind is high and the waves are strong, the trip should be cancelled. Please understand and abide by the relevant safety requirements when riding a speedboat, always wear a life jacket and sit tight to prevent bumps and injuries. ?

5. Food safety.

The weather in Thailand is hot, people like to drink ice water, and there are many delicious seafood stalls on the roadside. Tourists should not be greedy when eating. Prepare common medicines such as diarrhea before going out.
