Be vigilant and careful in the southern provinces of Narativat, Pattani, Satun, Songkla, Yala.

Railway stations, markets, gas stations, any congestion of people are considered as places of increased danger. There are a lot of pickpockets here.

To avoid theft, on the eve of the trip, make photocopies of the passport, insurance medical policy, driver's license, air ticket. Documents and valuables must be handed over to the hotel safe at the reception desk, in advance, on the advice of the Russian Embassy in Thailand, having read the rules for compensation for stolen property and taking a receipt with a detailed list and indicating the value of the things to be deposited. With you carry photocopies of documents and a hotel card.

Pedestrians need to be careful on city streets - Thai drivers are sloppy.
