Safety and Security when Travelling in Thailand
Thailand is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, and a renowned tourist destination. When it comes to journeying to any foreign nation however, there are a few things to keep in mind.
Accommodation
Most of the hotels in Bangkok and Hua Hin resorts have business cards in both Thai and English, so if you’re staying somewhere such as Anantara Hua Hin Resort it’s best to carry one or two to easily communicate your location to drivers.
Beaches
Although there are scantily-clad girls all over the prominently tourism-heavy areas, it’s always best to dress a little modestly since Thailand is a very conservative country. Going topless is strictly prohibited and it’s also best to avoid any deserted beach areas.
Taxis and Tuk-Tuks
It’s best to stray away from of transportation without a meter, and also remember that meters must always start at THB35. If this isn’t the case, be sure to step out and procure another vehicle.
Street Food and Eating Out
Some restaurants might surprise you with a substantially high bill, so always ask for prices beforehand. If you wish to experience street food, the rule of thumb is to stick with places that attract crowds so you can avoid food poisoning.
