As Thailand's high tourist season approaches, the Tourist Police Division 2, Subdivision 1, is intensifying efforts to ensure visitor safety and boost the nation's tourism industry.

 

Headed by Pol. Maj. Gen. Mom Luang Santhikorn Worawan, Commander of the Tourist Police Division 1, and under the directives of Pol. Maj. Gen. Sak Sira Phueak Am, the team is coordinating with both public and private sectors to enhance safety measures for tourists.

 

In a recent meeting led by Pol. Col. Man Ratanathong, Division 2 Chief, and Pol. Lt. Col. Kritapon Saengsura, Tourist Police officials outlined plans to uphold public safety and enforce laws during the high season.

 

Their approach includes cracking down on illegal activities, such as unauthorized tour services, under the Tourism Business and Guide Act of 2008. Officers were instructed to avoid any involvement in corruption and to work together to ensure the safety of tourists.


According to Pol. Col. Man, the department's proactive measures aim to reduce potential risks for tourists and create a positive experience. Officers will be stationed at key tourist spots and conduct regular patrols to prevent incidents.

 

The initiative also emphasizes service quality, aiming to build trust and promote Thailand as a safe travel destination.

 

Tourists or locals who witness any suspicious activities can report through the Tourist Police hotline at 1155, available 24/7, or online at www.Thaipoliceonline.com.

 

The Tourist Police Division 2 remains committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for all visitors throughout the busy season, reported Daily News.

That´s great, but think I heard they do this every year, and not only 1 time per year. Still there are security guards with thug mentality, thieving and aggressive testosterone filled ladyboys and bar bill adding as well as a lot of other stuff. Not to talk about drunk driving.
