Police TIPS for a Safe Holiday

Phuket is a very safe destination,

and when Tourists and visitors get in trouble,

it is usually because they gave trouble a chance.

When you’re driving or riding on a motorbike, always wear your helmet.
Before renting cars, motorbikes or jet skis, list any damage on the rental agreement and sign the agreement. Take pictures of any damage using your phone with the renter included in the photograph.
Carry a copy of your hotel business card in your wallet.
Do not drink and drive. Thailand is cracking down on offenders.
Keep cash, credit cards & valuables in your reception lock box.
Keep your passport, cash and valuables on your person in a zip pocket when sleeping in a bus or plane.
Never accept drinks or food of any kind from strangers.
Never give the original of your passport as guarantee to a vehicle renter.
Place copies of your passport in each of your luggage pieces.
Use only ATM machines in malls and at banks.
When going on a Tour, chose well known reputable companies.
When going out at night, only take the cash and valuables you need.
