Here, we’ll guide you on how to explore Thailand responsibly while soaking in its rich culture and natural beauty.

Safety in Thailand: Tips for Travellers

Thailand is known for its warm hospitality and relatively low crime rate, making it a favorite destination for backpackers and families alike. However, like any destination, it’s essential to stay vigilant and informed. 

• Be Aware of Scams:

Common tourist scams include overpriced tuk-tuk rides and unsolicited ‘tour guides’ offering discounted tours. Research prices in advance and book through reputable providers like Journiqa, which ensures all activities are safe and well-organised. ✨

• Stay Safe on the Roads:

Thailand’s traffic can be chaotic, especially in cities like Bangkok. If you’re renting a scooter or bike, wear a helmet and stay cautious. Alternatively, rely on trusted transport arranged by your tour package.

• Respect Local Laws and Customs:

Thailand is deeply rooted in Buddhist traditions. Dress modestly when visiting temples, and avoid any disrespectful gestures towards the monarchy. Knowing these basics keeps you respectful and safe. 

• Monitor Your Health:

Stay hydrated, use insect repellent, and ensure you’re up-to-date on necessary vaccinations. Travel insurance is a must-have for emergencies.
