Why is it unsafe to travel to Thailand?

? The main reason why Thailand was rated as the "most dangerous tourist destination" by Britain and Australia is that tourists encountered many security accidents in Thailand in previous years, so Thailand was rated as the "most dangerous tourist destination".

Thailand is a big tourist country in Southeast Asia, with beautiful natural scenery and unique customs. Every year, China people come to Thailand in an endless stream. With the weakening of the global fashion trend in COVID-19, it is followed by the economic recovery, especially the pulling effect of tourism on the economy is becoming more and more obvious, showing a rapid development trend, so many people have plans to travel abroad for holidays. Thailand is also one of the first choices for many tourists because of its beautiful scenery.

Since March this year, my friends and I have brushed a lot of hot topics on the Internet about unsafe tourism in Thailand, telecom fraud, human trafficking, organ trafficking, rampant drugs and so on. There are even rumors that many online celebrity bloggers disappeared during their travels in Thailand. The topic of the danger of traveling to Thailand has entered the hot search in Weibo many times.

It is said that Thailand's tourism is unsafe, which is closely related to Thailand's location in the center of Southeast Asia, the chaos of public security caused by a large number of illegal immigrants, the difficulty of transnational law enforcement, public security corruption in some areas and other factors, making Thailand a world civilized tourist destination to become a hub for traffickers to transport victims. At the same time, it is closely related to the government's announcement of legalization of marijuana last year.

On February 28th, 2022, Thailand's Minister of Health, Anuddin Chavira Kul, announced that the Anti-Narcotics Committee had agreed to remove marijuana from the drug list, stipulating that from June 9th, Mahjong grown in Thailand will no longer be a drug, and the government will allow residents to apply for a license to sell marijuana as long as the content of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in marijuana does not exceed 0.2%. At the same time, in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of Thai people to grow marijuana, the government released nearly 3,000 marijuana prisoners, and some people even prepared/kloc-0.00 million marijuana seedlings to encourage people to grow marijuana. Thailand's announcement of "legalization of marijuana" means that marijuana is a legal commodity in Thailand, attracting many addicts and curious people to visit and consume marijuana products in Thailand.

After the legalization of cannabis in Thailand, cannabis fish sauce, cannabis drinks, cannabis cakes, cannabis cocktails and other related cannabis products produced by relevant catering enterprises in the country have emerged one after another and can be seen everywhere. However, after eating cannabis-containing products, it is easy to breed crimes, which will further aggravate tourism risks. According to the prediction of relevant media, after the legalization of marijuana, Thailand has a tendency to become "Amsterdam in Asia". At present, most countries in the world stipulate that marijuana is a drug. For foreign tourists, they will be investigated for criminal responsibility if they eat or bring products containing cannabis back to China while traveling in Thailand.

? In fact, traveling to Thailand involves related dangerous problems, which have been exposed by the media in previous years. Britain and Australia rated Thailand as "the most dangerous tourist destination".

In 20 16, according to the data released by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Thailand became Australia's "deadliest tourist destination", and about 203 Australian tourists died while traveling to Thailand. The main causes of death of Australian tourists are diseases, natural causes and other safety accidents; In 20 17, Thailand was also ranked as the 20 most unsafe countries in the world in the ranking of "ensuring the safety of tourists" by the World Economic Forum (WEF). Thailand ranks 1 18 among 136 countries participating in the safety ranking. In the same year, the list of the world's most dangerous tourist destinations compiled by Endsley Insurance Company of the United Kingdom showed that Thailand was the most dangerous tourist destination in the world. According to the ranking of travel insurance claims in 20 17, Thailand ranked first, accounting for 23% of the total insurance claims; The World Health Organization (WHO) once said in a survey on "road traffic casualties in Thailand" that Thailand's road traffic risk index ranks first among ASEAN countries, with an average of about 60 people dying from road traffic accidents every day.

In my opinion, the recent discussion on tourism safety in Thailand is very heated, which is related to the follow-up effect that gradually emerged after the legalization of cannabis in Thailand in 2022. 20 17 Thailand was rated as "the most dangerous tourist destination" by Britain and Australia, which deepened people's concerns about Thailand's tourism safety. Some media reported that after the legalization of marijuana in Thailand, people who went to Thailand, including those from the North Myanmar fraud group, only went there not for tourism, but for "electric fraud"; At the same time, due to the low cost of human trafficking in Thailand, criminal groups may use Thailand as a transit point for their crimes.

As the saying goes, nip in the bud. Although Thailand is rated as "the most dangerous tourist destination" by Britain and Australia, as a tourist, if you decide to travel to Thailand, you should consider your own safety, expect more risks and take precautions: First, stay away from drugs. Article 357 of China's criminal law stipulates that drugs, including marijuana, are the targets of severe crackdown, so stay away from marijuana and marijuana products in tourism to prevent being investigated for breaking the law; The second is to avoid separate activities. When going out, go together to avoid single activities, especially at night, and many people walk together to prevent accidents; The third is to lead an honest and clean life. Although exotic customs are beautiful, we should stick to our own bottom line, resist temptation, put an end to pornography and gambling, and avoid accidents caused by it.
