Thailand Ramps Up Tourism Safety Measures Amid Crackdown on Illegal Operations


Recommended Posts

Posted

Key initiatives include round-the-clock security patrols in major tourist areas, enhanced airport arrivals support and real-time assistance via a dedicated app. Travellers can also access help through the 1155 tourist police hotline, available 24/7 in multiple languages.

 

These should already be in place - and working  😡

How many times we have heard this?

 

Many of the most dangerous aspects of the country are impossible to fix. Thailand lacks the will, there are secret vested interests.

 

Most importantly, unless the tourist police fall under this ministry I don't understand how they have any enforcement capability whatsoever. Moreover, tourism police will have no authority over some of the worst offenders which will be Thai Nationals.

 

Article is just a laff

 

After the better part of a decade trying to shove the tax onto tourists and finally succeeding; I guess the ministry is feeling a bit flush with that b300 tax now rolling into their coffers 🤯

The beauty of these announcements is in the truth / reality that the upper classes, families, especially Japanese will continue to shun the country.

 

So another fail.

 

I guess time for another Hub of ________ announcement?

These fools will never learn. 

 

Meanwhile Vietnam, Cambodia, Japan, Myanmar and more countries are seeing a strong rise in tourist numbers.

 

And the uneducated so called 'ministers' involved still can't distinguish day time and night time.

They forgot to include a midget in the photo.

 

Oops.  Are we allowed to say midget any more?

 

I think the official reference is a person of small stature

The Ministry of Tourism and Sports is intensifying efforts to make Thailand a safer and more reliable destination for international visitors, with a range of new safety and service measures now being rolled out nationwide.

They've got there work cut out... daily news from Pattaya & Phuket is enough to scare people away for the safety and tranquility of other destinations.

Myanmar?? You're joking,right?

I doubt a civil war is much of a tourist attraction.

Amazing how a focus on safety standards segways into nominee shareholders and foreigners working without permits.

 

They just can’t get past the perceived injustice of foreigners being in Thailand. By all means prosecute foreigners who break the law, but if trying to improve safety standards, do things that improve safety.
