Krabi province tightens security measures for tourists

The province of Krabi (กระบี่) is intensifying its security measures for tourists.

Krabi Governor Siwa Sirisaowalak (ศิวะ ศิริเสาวลักษ์) had an annual meeting with the provincial police yesterday (August 27th). The meeting has assigned the provincial police to beef up its measures to protect tourists in the province by dealing with forest trespassing, suppressing the spread of narcotics among youths in entertainment venues and education institutes, and preventing cars and motorcycles from being stolen.

Moreover, the police will be more rigorous in traffic regulations and crimes as more than 6,000 wrongdoers were arrested between May and July, 2007.
