What should I pay attention to when traveling by boat in Thailand? The latest casualties of the capsizing accident in Thailand.

Summer is a very suitable season for traveling. Just because of summer, many friends will go to Phuket, Thailand to play, but it is just the rainy season in Thailand recently, which is not suitable for going to sea. So be sure to check the weather forecast when you go to play, or whether there will be a red warning flag on the beach.

Note 1. Pay attention to the red flag warning on the beach and don't venture into the water.

Phuket, Phang Nga Bay, Pipi Island and Dammam Sea area of Bailey Island are rainy season from May to June of that year, with changeable weather, strong sea breeze, rough waves and complicated sea conditions, so it is not suitable for swimming here. Please pay more attention to the weather before going out to sea. Don't venture into the water or swim in the water in case of bad weather, such as stormy waves or red warning flags hanging on the beach, or physical conditions such as fasting, full meal, drunkenness and extreme fatigue.

Red warning flags are planted on the beach, and swimming in the sea is strictly prohibited.

Rip current can occur under any weather conditions, so pay special attention to it.

Second, snorkeling is extremely dangerous, so you must be cautious when participating.

Snorkeling mortality is extremely high. Tourists often don't know enough about the dangers of snorkeling, they don't master the use of diving masks skillfully, choking water and lack of oxygen lead to brain death, and even snorkeling alone without swimming leads to drowning. Therefore, to participate in snorkeling projects, you must follow the guidance of professionals to ensure that you can use the mask correctly before entering the water. In addition, tourists who are older or suffer from heart disease or high blood pressure are prohibited from snorkeling.

3. Be careful when renting and driving vehicles, and pay attention to traffic safety when driving.

Traffic in Thailand keeps the right rudder on the left, and driving habits are contrary to those in China. The popular scenic spots in southern Thailand are mountainous and steep, and the road conditions are complicated. Be sure to fasten your seat belt when taking a tourist bus or van to ensure the safety of travel. If you don't have a Thai driver's license or an international driver's license, please don't hire a driver, or you will take full responsibility for the accident. Don't mortgage your passport and other important documents to the merchants, so as not to affect the subsequent trip.

Fourth, choose a regular tour group and carefully understand the insurance protection.

Overseas travel is often accompanied by various unpredictable travel risks. It is suggested to join the tour group organized by regular travel agencies to Thailand, sign a regular travel contract, and pay attention to the scope and requirements of claims for personal and property safety accidents in the contract; If it is a self-help tour, it is recommended to buy appropriate overseas travel accident insurance before traveling, know the weather, road conditions and other information of the destination in advance, carefully choose tourism projects, plan ahead and be prepared.
