The President of Thailand recently highlighted a problem faced by foreign citizens in the country: they are more often victims of serious crimes. In his statement, he noted that it is necessary to strengthen measures to protect the rights and interests of foreigners within the country's territory. Recently, several serious incidents have occurred in Thailand that confirm this issue. For example, the Minister of Interior of Thailand expressed condolences to the families of two Russians who were killed in Pattaya. Also reported is a fire at a bar in Bangkok where at least 27 people died. The problem of crimes against foreigners also affects other categories of citizens. For instance, the Thai police report an increase in fraud cases causing daily losses amounting to 70 million baht. In light of this, experts advise tourists and residents of Thailand to be particularly vigilant about their safety. It is important to know your rights and not to trust unfamiliar people, as well as always keep your documents with you.
