When on vacation, and we all want to cut loose and relax in our stressful life and forget this is a good thing. Not only is this a good thing for you, but it's a good thing for anyone to take advantage of you and you can relieve your values.

As a traveler, if you go to Disney World or Thailand, you must be aware of your surroundings. Destination that you are, you can bet that there are people waiting there, do their workbe used to take you in your state of relaxation. Do not take for granted the safety of the station.

Thailand

As with any journey to any destination in the world you must be aware of surroundings, especially in tourist areas where you may be caught in a disturbing element. I covered the basics in 5 rules are not stupid tourist.In Thailand, the real danger may not be what you expect. Thailand, like anywhere else in the world, has its share of crime and fraud. While watchingfor your valuables and personal safety, it is quite easy to ignore some aspects of the trip that we take for granted at home. From this point of course bring your trip very well to an early death.

Crossing roads, crowded rooms and road accidents take more lives each year in Thailand than any other activity, including crime. Only a few days in the last year there were over 226 deaths in Thailand and joined a club of fire Santika Pub86 people in hospital and 59 people were killed. Of the 59 dead at Club 21 were foreigners.

Clubs are the first part of this trifecta awareness. Some clubs can be quite large square and the people, where is your thing, then you really should take a walk around the club and check it out. Make sure you know where the exits are and, if possible, make sure that they are not blocked. Last year, a club in Pattaya caught fire shortly before the opening of what an adequate number of die. The fireFire Marshal is intended for a cable chains and find a second exit to keep blocked access to the outside. Eve of this year saw a fire in Santika Pub caused by fireworks lit from within, as part of the celebration that strike the treatment of the insulating foam on the ceiling.

small clubs deserve as much as the outputs are usually dark and hidden. Most of the fires that take place in Thailand to be electric. The electricity in most of these places isSubstandard at best, at worst criminal. Club fires are not an everyday occurrence in Thailand, but they do happen, and when they occur, usually there are deaths involved. Go to the club and have a great time, if that's what you're talking about. Easy, secure and scope of the places you are, you can only save.

Driving in Thailand

As with any other destination in the world you can rent cars, trucks and motorcycles in Thailand. The best advice I can give you, is not the case. Everyone IThailand expat always met the two-week holiday in Thailand that has led, had an accident. It is not a question of if you are involved in an accident, but when.

Some were minor scratches, but others have long stays in hospital and surgery required. Last year, a Thai woman on her way home from work a week in Pattaya ride their bikes fell into a hole in the middle of the road, the 6 feet deep and 4 feet wide. The contractor is working on the road would never have thought it was a barricadenecessary.

Sometimes the accidents are caused by poor road conditions, but more often than road accidents in Thailand, it is possible, from rural areas to cities are scored at the wheel badly. Motorcycles weave in and out of traffic as quickly as possible and drive to defend their place with a passion. My second trip to Thailand, I saw two motorcycle accidents in one night. The first incident, a motorcycle cut in front of a bust right Baht taxi ride a decision on it. The second incident, aMotorcycle crashed into the back of a Mercedes at high speed. My last trip when I was on the way home from the bus station Mukdahan in Pattaya, we passed a motorcycle threw down the street with a pilot apparently died in 100 meters.

A taxi from Pattaya to my driver in deciding which lane he wanted so he decided to take the difference between driving and trains and cars for a half mile or so divided. I think the Falanga unnerved screaming in the back of his taxiso he stopped.

The traffic in Bangkok is so bad that it is not uncommon for a motorcycle taxi on the sidewalk, and sit on the sidewalk. The guide is more of a sport in Thailand and A-blood sports to do it. The bad Asian driver may be a cliché to cliché, but when it comes to Thai drivers are more truth than fiction is to this feeling.

If this does not give a break to think about driving while in Switzerland, then consider the following two articles:

In 1999 a study was carried out byDG Jacobs and Amy Aeron-Thomas, called A REVIEW OF GLOBAL victims. It is broken road deaths by region in the world with Asia with a full 44% of all traffic fatalities. There should be no surprise that Thailand is the leader in road accidents around the world come for some time. In 2004 it was estimated that Thailand has an incidence rate of 6.6 accidents per 10,000 drivers were compared across Europe was just 1.8 accidents per 10,000 drivers.

PichaiTANEERANANON and grandparents SOMCHAINUEK appointed a study on the situation in bus accident bus accident in Thailand Thailand: case studies. The sheer number of bus accidents and fatalities per year is breathtaking in Thailand.

If you drive only in Thailand, is to ensure international driver's license or a Thai driver's license and insurance. If you are in an accident is most likely to take as a person is at fault, and then see if they are not there to pay the fines will be involved.

PublicTransportation is the alternative for most is good. I was on a motorcycle taxi, tourist buses and taxis to hit the country used. I have not a problem, but I know that the odds are against me. With drivers sometimes work 12 -16 hours a day, it is difficult to know what kind of ride you get. When Elvis Costello said: "Accidents happen, but if you keep your wits and your environment know that it is a good chance of preventing theirone.

Hiking on the streets of Thailand

I'm on the streets of Bangkok through me feared by four clock morning and not even for my personal safety, even though I was well aware of my surroundings. I can not say the same when crossing the roads in Thailand. Pedestrians are seen as virtually objectives and pedestrians in crosswalks are the target.

Trust me drivers do not slow down, cross the road, if at all, only then honk the horn to remind your neighborFall, if you must travel. Add in low light conditions, alcohol or both, on both sides of this equation and you have a recipe for disaster.

While Bangkok has many pedestrian bridges, the same can not other popular destinations such as Pattaya, where via 2cnd plays much like the old Frogger video game to say. 2cnd from street to street Pattaya beach and have a considerable distance, no traffic lights and at night the lighting is uneven in some places.

A study of the pedestrian zoneKohn Kaen province in an accident, he did a population of 150,000 in 2002. The study involved the collection of information on pedestrian accidents in the period 1998-2000. In 2000 there were 4,400 pedestrians injured or killed in the streets of Thailand with an estimated 65,000 road accidents and related deaths. A study of accidents and investigation of the pedestrians, the insecurity in Kohn Kaen.

To cross a road in Thailand, take the time to judge carsThe distance and speed, so good you can even streets with little traffic, because it is too late by the time we take and some of the incidents I've seen there are no more likely to be much left to identify.

As always, no matter where you are safe in the world that you know the environment and control of yourself at all times, and you should be fine.
