Tighter security enforced in Isaan as tourism booms
BANGKOK, 28 October 2015 (NNT)- Security has been tightened in 8 northeastern provinces in order to assure safety for people at the end of Buddhist Lent.
According to the Police Provincial Region 3 Commander, Police Lieutenant General Thawitchat Palasak, police officers and those in plain clothes have been deployed to tourist sites in 8 provinces in the lower part of the North East.
The move is aimed at safeguarding tourists against petty crimes at tourist sites at the end of October, when festivals held to mark the end of the Buddhist Lent period often attract a large number of tourists.
The Commander revealed that the safety measures will be taken rigorously as there is also a greater number of foreign visitors than usual. People have also been encouraged to report to the authorities if they come across suspicious-looking individuals or activities.
