The Than Bok Khorani National Park in Thailand’s Krabi province is now making regular announcements in Mandarin so as to keep Chinese tourists well informed.

 

The park’s senior official, Jampen Phompakdee said Sunday that Mandarin has joined Thai and English in announcements promoting tourist safety.

 

“We inform them of risks and of what they should not do,” he said. 

 

According to Jampen, audio files prepared in Mandarin have been broadcast inside the park since April 6.

 

The park covers the famous Hong Island, which draws more than 1,000 tourists daily. It is estimated that Chinese tourists account for about 60 per cent of all visitors. 

 

Some of these tourists have had accidents while swimming or relaxing on the beach. 

 

“We have lifeguards ready. But we also hope tourists will know how to protect themselves,” Jampen said.
