It can be quite difficult in case of an emergency when you are in an unknown land where the locals speak a language that is alien to you. The good thing about the people in Pattaya is that they speak English, even though it might not be the best. Here are a few pointers on how to be prepared.
Staying safe
Pattaya is a wonderful destination to travel to be it solo, as a couple or with family. Crime rates here are quite low, but should you have any situations where you feel like you are in danger the tourist police are the first people to contact. You can inquire about this from resorts like Avani Pattaya Resort.
Scams
As this is a popular holiday destination, there are many scammers who are attracted to the place as is the norm in pretty much any popular tourist spot in the world. Make sure you don’t leave money or credit cards lying around when you stay at beach resorts in Pattaya. Also, be wary of young women who invite you to a drink.
Personal Safety
The best thing you can do is to avoid travelling alone no matter where you go, especially walking alone. If you’ve been to a party and have had a few extra drinks, the best option would be to take a taxi to the hotel instead of walking. Ladies should avoid walking alone on the beach at night.
Travel Insurance
This is very important as there is no telling when something unfortunate could happen. Therefore, it is always best to have a back up plan in case you get sick or meet with an accident. Also, with the pandemic, this has become a mandatory requirement.
