Did you already know that in Thailand there may be an application designed specifically with traveler safety in mind?
Thailand has a mobile application called “Tourist Police I Lert U”. This innovation goals to offer immediate public safety assistance to tourists in need.
Thanks to the usage of the Global Positioning System (GPS), the appliance can easily display the precise location of users in dangerous situations, thus shortening the response time of emergency services. The application is free and available for iOS and Android operating systems. Once the app is installed, users can press the Ask button to request help.
Tourists may send information and photos directly from the scene of the incident to the War Room, the data center of the Tourist Police Hotline 1155. This initiative is essential since it allows the police to evaluate the situation and respond accurately.
The war room is monitored by officers 24 hours a day to make sure assistance is at all times available. After receiving an alarm signal, the data is straight away forwarded to the closest police unit, which might quickly provide help. As a part of the response, police will call you back in your registered telephone number to offer initial instructions and advice.
The Tourist Police app currently supports communication in English and Thai. The purpose of the app is to make sure the security and well-being of tourists in order that they will enjoy Thailand’s wealthy culture in peace.
Travelers planning to go to Thailand can download this app to get help from the Thai police in case of an emergency.
