What should I pay attention to when traveling to Thailand?

Travel to Thailand needs to pay attention to wading safety, traffic safety, property safety, ship safety and food safety.

First, wading safety.

Many tourist attractions in Thailand are by the sea. During the monsoon season, the surrounding waters are stormy, the sea conditions change rapidly, and safety accidents such as snorkeling and swimming occur frequently. Life jackets must be worn throughout the wading project, and snorkelers should receive formal training. Master the use of snorkeling equipment. Old people, patients with hypertension and heart disease should not snorkel.

Second, traffic safety.

Thailand's right rudder turns to the left. When crossing the road, look to the right first, then to the left, and pay attention to avoid "motorcycles". Choose a taxi that is willing to use the meter, and write down the license plate and driver's license information at the left front windshield. In case of traffic accident, call the police immediately (191); In case of casualties, call an ambulance (1669, 169 1, 1554, 1555). ?

Third, property safety.

Pay attention to take good care of property, certificates, etc. In Bangkok, Pataia, Phuket, Koh Samui and other places, there are frequent cases of carjacking, swiping bank cards, and theft of hotel luggage and property.

Fourth, it is safe to take a boat.

Please choose a regular travel company and shipping company, and know whether there is travel accident insurance and the scope of claims before registration; Understand the weather and sea conditions of the day. If the weather is bad and the wind and waves are strong, the trip should be cancelled. Please understand and abide by the relevant safety requirements when riding a speedboat, wear a life jacket at all times and sit firmly to prevent bumping and injury. ?

Fifth, 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.
