The British guarnatee business Norwich Union voyage guarnatee drew up the rate of the most hazardous and comfortable resorts. It is advisable to use caution in Thailand, in African, Caribbean, and Czech Republic Countries… It’s quite on the cards that this explore aimed in the first place at the tourists taking care of themselves, purchasing their product- voyage insurances. However, you would do well to take experts’ advices.

THAILAND 2011

Thailand has become well known worldwide for its many attractions. Many attractions can all over the country, offering visitors interesting knowledge of Thai culture to be found uniquely.



For instance, there are numerous Buddhist temples that the tourist can visit to learn about the national religion co Thailand. In Bangkok, the capital city of the country, there are many important temples. One of the most important temples is the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, where a Buddhist image made from a large Emerald is kept. The Temple of Dawn is also in Bangkok on the bank of the chao Phraya River. These are only two of the many important Buddhist Temples in the Bangkok area. There are many more throughout the country.

The hazardous Thailand exotics

Bottle Beach Thailand

By analyzing 60 thousand of appeals received from the tourists in 2005, the insurers found out that the people who spent their time in Thailand claim their compensations more frequently. Accidents, food poisoning and domestic thefts, according to British information, take place notably in that country.

You should be quite careful, though, the Thai men in coming season who celebrate the sixtieth birthday of their darling monarch this year, took quite a lot of measures to raise the ease and safety of the tourists coming to meet the exotics.

In Thailand, it is strongly recommended not to agree to doubtful dirt-cheap excursions and when traveling by taxi, you should always comprehend either the driver understands you correctly.

You have to take along the hotel’s card with the address and the scheme how to get there, written in the Thai language. It is important for you to justify the taxi driver your route.

True, sometimes you can meet in Thailand such drivers who can’t read even in native language. You should keep away from such kind of cabmen.

The quite free dispositions have come to be the peculiar question recently on some of the favorite resorts of the country. The resort cities of western Thailand‘s seaboards have been filled by the round-the-clock disco clubs with the important usage of various light stuff, the braziers with the doubtful contents that stand right at the beach edge, ubiquitous prostitutes and “pseudo beggary”, as well as doubtful “massage parlours”.

So, before selecting the hotel, you should wholly consult a voyage agent regarding the orders in particular place.

Not to darken your rest by the serious poisoning, it is recommended not to drink water from the tap. You should always buy water in bottles (it is often given in the hotels for free) and use it for fruit washing, tooth brushing and so on. In addition, it is better to abstain from the strangers’ offers of food or drinks (it is often offered by the taxi drivers or “rat-taters”).

Keep off walking in Africa

The next end of the British researchers is that the guests of Southern Africa often come to be the robbery victims (including the using of weapons). Here the baggage loosing is common.

All the tour operators specialized in this area preclude that the crime rate in Sar is too high, and Johannesburg is carefully to be the most criminogenic zone in the world. Therefore, the extreme-lovers, who tend to arrive in this country, should take high precautions with regard to either luggage safety and personal safety. Of course, the local police works in the sweat of his face, and such districts as Sawetto, Hillibro, Alexandra and Ketlehong in Johannesburg are not recommended for visits. The solo excursions in these places are outright dangerous. Though for sightseeing the main tourist attractions, it also makes sense to make trustworthy company. The swindle with credit cards in Sar is common, especially in case a credit card is passed into strange hands (for bill payment in cafeteria or for parking). Also, the majority of crimes occur among drug addicts (great amount of substances are produced in the country, and drug addiction is carefully to be national disaster).

However, the distant Africa is hazardous not only because of crime. It is here where vast quantities of thermal shock and thermal burn take place, because of high level of solar radiation. Therefore, it is important to wear here sunglasses, use creams, headgear and light clothes with long sleeves. The special danger are poisonous snakes, gnats (especially malarial mosquito ” anopheles”, broad on the coastal plains of shore), as well as crocodiles and hippopotamus, about which we have been informed from petite up though.

Caribbean Sea parasites

British insurers recommend the people who suffer from allergy to avoid Caribbean: there is a special danger of stings of venomous tropical insects. The experts have counted more than 3 thousand cases, when their clients claim payment after attacks of carnivorous sea inhabitants.

There is a real danger to meet the unfriendly submersible creatures in Barbados, the Bahama Islands or in Cuba, especially while the swimming on the open sea, where the owners are sharks, downstream migrations and other raptors. But the majority of civilized beaches, in this regard, are secure, because they are partitioned off from the ocean by the coral reefs.

But the last ones, as is known, are the refuge for great amount of small sea creatures that bites, showing special activity nights and having a rest in the daytime, burying themselves in coastal waters. So, when unlucky tourist treads upon them inadvertently, they at the best sting painfully. Therefore, to spend the time in this paradise, you should examine from voyage agents all the gen about where you should be right and use bath shoes. And being informed about presence of the harmful sea creatures in water, don’t submerge, if you can’t see any lifeguards on a beach.

One more danger is mosquitoes are found in the Caribbean practically in any place and serve a carrier of fever.

However, evening “singing” of these bloodsuckers reminds you the important to use repellent or protecting screen, better than any instruction.

Keep your money

As counted the British experts, Czech Republic has come to be the “unapparent” robbery champion.

It is here, where the majority of tourists are becoming the victims of pickpockets.

It should be noted, that this issue gives issue to the Czech Republic authorities. The placards, warning the negligent travelers about thefts, appear in shops, supermarkets, trams, buses and subway – the place where pickpockets control most of all. “Have your eyes everywhere!” – the word-for-word translation of the motto that sounds just in case, have to convince foreign tourists to be watchful.

As the authors of “the hazardous countries rate” mention fairly, it is easy to forget about own safety lying on the beach with the cocktail in your hands and admiring the local beauty. “The aim of our investigation is not to frighten the tourists, who are looking send the summer holiday, we just tend to inform them about probable difficulties”, – noted Don Mackmallan, the Norwich town manager.

At that you shouldn’t come to be paranoiac. As experts say, the vast majority of travels, as a rule, pass without any hindrances. The insurers have called also the most convenient countries for tourism. They are Ireland, Belgium, Holland, Germany and France. But it is another subject for discussing.
