On 14th January, officers from the Tourist Police Region 3, led by Deputy Superintendent Pol Lt Col Jirapat Kheosiri, conducted a safety patrol around Wat Arun Ratchawararam in Thonburi.

Their focus was to boost tourist confidence and promote the new Thailand Tourist Police app, an initiative aligned with the policies introduced by Tourist Police Commissioner, Pol Lt Gen Saksripiak.

Launched on 12th December 2024, this app allows tourists to conveniently report incidents, send messages, images, and locations, effectively connecting them to the 1155 emergency centre.

With multilingual support in eight languages available 24/7, the app aims to streamline communication between tourists and local authorities, enhancing the ability to respond to and assist in emergencies efficiently.

This new initiative not only strengthens tourist safety but also bolsters Thailand's image as a top travel destination.

The app is available for download on both Android and iOS, ensuring easy access for international visitors, thereby improving overall tourist experiences and safety outcomes, reported Siam Rath.
