Safety Concerns

Although Thailand is generally safe for tourists, there are a few special safety concerns in the country:

  • Be mindful of pickpockets in crowded areas.
  • Watch out for being overcharged by taxi or tuk-tuk drivers, here it is important (and expected) to negotiate a price far below what the drivers will initially say.
  • Be cautious when driving on the roads, as traffic is extremely chaotic and accidents are common.
  • Be aware of political unrest, and avoid large gatherings or demonstrations.
  • Human Trafficking is a serious concern in Thailand. It is important to be aware of the Issue and to take steps to avoid A: becoming a victim, and B: supporting or inadvertently participating in activities or industries that are linked with Trafficking. Thailand is particularly known for its sex tourism industry, so avoid any and all establishments that may be involved with this, as well as report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
  • The Drug laws are particularly strict in Thailand, so refrain from any illegal drug use, and double-check that any prescription medication you need is also legal in Thailand.

Where to Stay?

  • There are many great Airbnb offerings, and this option may be the best value for families or groups.
  • Hotels are a good option for families, or people mainly looking to relax.
