Is it safe to travel to Thailand on May 1 2065438+0? What should I pay attention to?

Thailand is a pleasant tourist destination. The natural landscape here is beautiful and there are not many humanistic feelings. The second phase has unique food and exquisite service industry, which will make you relax to the greatest extent. Here are some information about Thailand's tourism safety.

The rainy season in Thailand comes ahead of schedule, and the risk factor increases. Please pay close attention to travel to Thailand!

According to the website of the Consulate General of China in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in order to ensure that China citizens who travel to northern Thailand have a safe and pleasant holiday, the Consulate General of China in Chiang Mai specially reminds China tourists that this year's rainy season in Thailand comes ahead of schedule, with frequent rainfall and increased tourism risk factors, so tourists should pay attention to traffic safety when traveling.

Please note the following

First, remember to buy overseas travel insurance.

According to Thai laws and relevant regulations, accident claims follow the principle of insurance compensation, and the main channels are travel agency purchase, self-brought tickets or tourists' own purchase. The scenic spots involved usually pay a small amount of medical expenses as appropriate, but they do not accept the demands of the parties for mental compensation.

Thailand's insurance accident compensation is low, which is not enough to pay for major injuries and medical expenses.

It is suggested that tourists who come to Thailand, especially self-help tourists, buy overseas travel insurance from regular insurance companies before leaving the country, or buy local personal accident insurance and car rental insurance after arriving in Thailand, so as to enhance their economic security ability and deal with unexpected accidents.

Second, pay attention to traffic safety when traveling in rainy days and carefully choose tourism projects.

This year, the rainy season came ahead of schedule, with frequent rainfall and increased tourism risk factors. There are many sharp bends and narrow roads in northern Thailand, which are prone to accidents. Tourists try not to rent cars and motorcycles. It is recommended to choose local public transport to the scenic spots.

Carefully choose a double car or a tuk-tuk car that lacks safety protection, and pay attention to take your belongings with you before getting off. Thai vehicles drive to the left with the right rudder, which is faster.

When crossing the road, tourists must look to the right first, and then to the left to ensure that they can pass quickly under safe circumstances, and don't cross the road rashly.

Thailand drives in the opposite direction to China, and the risk factor of renting a motorcycle to drive a motorcycle is extremely high. If you really need to hire a driver, please make sure that you have a valid Thai local driver's license or an international driver's license. Driving in Thailand with only a China driver's license is not protected by law. In case of an accident, you will bear the corresponding responsibilities.

When renting a car, you should carefully read and sign a car rental contract, take photos to save the car condition, and don't mortgage your passport and other important documents to the merchants, so as not to affect the subsequent trip.

Remember to wear a helmet when driving a motorcycle. During driving, be sure to let the car going straight across the street pass first, and make sure that there is no oncoming car in sight before turning and turning around.

Mountain torrents are prone to occur in the rainy season in the mountainous areas of northern Thailand, and hiking in the wild is extremely dangerous. The risk factors of tourism projects such as flying in the jungle, riding elephants and getting close to wild animals also vary from person to person. I suggest that you must evaluate your own situation and potential risks in advance and choose carefully.

In addition,

The swimming pool in Taipei Hotel is deep and unattended. Don't swim on an empty stomach, full meal, drunk or extremely tired.

Third, abide by Thai laws and regulations.

Thailand's immigration department stipulates that tourists with tourist visas must carry 20,000 baht per person or 40,000 baht per family in cash or equivalent foreign currency.

To handle landing visa, you must bring 10000 baht per person or 20000 baht in cash or equivalent foreign currency per family. Immigration officials will conduct spot checks and will be repatriated if they do not bring enough cash. Please pay attention to the above regulations to ensure smooth entry.

Pay attention to declare valuables when entering the country, and don't carry them in excess. If the value of personal belongings exceeding a reasonable amount for personal use exceeds 20,000 baht (about 4,000 yuan), you must go through the customs red declaration channel.

Violation of relevant regulations will result in a fine of 4 times the tax on undeclared articles, or imprisonment of 10 years or both.

In addition, each tourist is only allowed to bring 1 cigarette (200 cigarettes or 250g tobacco) and 1 bottle of wine (no more than 1 liter) into the country (be careful not to put more than one person's tobacco and alcohol in the luggage or leave it in the airport area, otherwise it will be considered as excessive carrying). The above provisions also apply to tobacco and alcohol purchased at airport duty-free shops.

Fourth, respect local customs and habits and travel in a civilized way.

Visitors can avoid misunderstanding and reduce unnecessary conflicts and disputes by knowing the local customs and etiquette in Thailand before going. Thailand has a hot climate all the year round, so tourists, especially women, should not wear too much clothes, which is easy to cause trouble.

There are many Buddhist temples in Thailand. When visiting the temple, dress neatly and generously. Men's shirts should have sleeves, pants should be knee-high and women's pants should be knee-high. You shouldn't be topless, wearing vest straps or jeans with holes.

Take off your shoes when you enter the Buddhist temple. Don't touch or climb the Buddha statue to take pictures. Women should not be too close to monks, and should not have physical contact with monks, such as handing things, wrapping them in cloth or entrusting men to send them. If you take pictures of monks, you should ask for permission in advance and thank them afterwards.

Thai etiquette says hello, put your hands together, don't touch other people's heads, don't point at people when sitting or lying down, and don't point at goods when shopping. Please pass it with your right hand when handing things or paying bills, and don't throw it around. Thais speak very slowly and seldom speak loudly in public. Spitting everywhere, talking loudly while eating, drinking soup and directly spitting food scraps on the table are all considered rude behaviors.

Five, to ensure smooth communication, safekeeping documents.

Tourists should take the initiative to inform their domestic relatives of their specific itinerary in Thailand before traveling, handle international roaming of mobile phones or buy mobile phone cards locally. When you arrive in Thailand, you should inform your family of the name of the hotel, the name of your colleague and contact information by SMS, WeChat, email, etc. , so as to maintain smooth communication.

Take good care of your passport, prepare copies of your passport, visa and electronic photos, and store them separately from the original. At the same time, the passport clearly indicates the contact information of emergency contacts, so that relevant departments can get in touch with them in time in case of emergency. If you lose your passport, please contact the Consulate General immediately to reissue your travel document.
