The only problem is the guideline is in Thai and the tourists have been advised to use Google Translate to decipher it.
The little booklet offering advice – in Thai – comes in a waterproof bag that can be worn around the neck and is large enough to hold a phone and some money. The team comprising female public relations officers and a policeman in uniform showed up in Khao San on Wednesday afternoon to warn tourists to beware of pickpockets while they are having fun splashing water at one another.The guideline booklet is titled Spell Against Thieves in Thai, followed by the English words “beware of thieves” spelt out in Thai to sound like a chant that sounds like “Bi-wa-i-ti A-wa Ti-we-sa”.
• Mugging: People are urged to stay with crowds and to avoid going into quiet, remote spots to prevent from being mugged. • Pickpocketing: Revellers are advised to avoid carrying valuables or openly displaying their money to stop thieves from cutting their bags and wallets.• Molestation: People are warned to protect themselves from sexual assault while having fun at the water party.
