Security guards are posted at every gate and at every building - on a 24/7 basis.

When traveling outside of the CRI campus, it is advisable to use the following precautions:

• Find out about your destination - before you set out. Consult with a CRI employee or student familiar with the area and/or the place (shopping area, restaurant, museum, theater, etc.) you plan to visit. Or, check on line for information. 
• Travel with others, rather than alone.
• Carry your passport and a CRI business card, which has the CRI address printed in Thai and English.

The crime level in Bangkok remains lower than that in many American. Nevertheless, you are advised to:

• Be wary of pick pockets and purse-snatchers when walking in crowded markets, tourist sites and bus/train/subway stations.
• Use only metered Taxi services: unmetered cabs may over-charge for the trip.
• Beware of drivers or strangers who promote special deals for purchasing gems or tailored clothing or who offer to take you on “special” tours of the city or visits to places of entertainment not available to most tourists. They are almost certainly scams, will not save you money, and may get you into trouble.
• Credit cards should be used only in reputable, established businesses, and the amount charged should be checked for accuracy.
