LOOSE PAPERS IN THAILAND...WHAT I CAN DO ?
What if you lose your papers in Thailand?
This is a question that often comes up, unfortunately, because many tourists lose their papers or steal them, which can also happen.
Before you see what to do in case of loss it is appropriate, when traveling to abide by certain elementary rules of prudence.
1) always have a photocopy of your passport and credit card (with bank details in case of loss). For the passport I advise to leave the original at the hotel and to have the photocopy on oneself.
Also leave your driver's license, ID card, vital card, etc. in the safe. In the trunk, you don't have to use it here.
It is also useful for everyone to have on their own the address and telephone of the French embassy.
2) put his papers in closed pockets by zipper and not in a bag, this one can be easily forgotten or stolen with everything in it.
3) If you are in a relationship, everyone has the photocopy of the other...
It is the same of the species, do not have much on oneself and use the safe of the hotel to keep your papers or your species, it is safe and without problem.
If unfortunately you lost your papers:
-Regarding the bank card, immediate opposition obviously.
Take good care before you arrive, having put on a paper the call coordinates in case of loss, you will save a lot of time because looking for the right number at 10,000 km from home is not necessarily obvious.
-As regards the papers and in particular the passport:
The first thing to do is go to the police to make a statement of loss or theft, you will receive an official paper that will allow you to facilitate the steps then.
There are police stations everywhere, just ask a taxi to take you to the nearest place where you are.
Then you will have to go to the embassy to make a statement.
From there you have different options available to you.
Either you are totally helpless at the financial level in which case the embassy will be able to help you, there is a procedure for that.
You also have the opportunity to get money sent by Western Union by family or friends, there are absolutely wickets everywhere.
Regarding the passport the embassy will make you an official paper that takes place of passport and will allow you to board for your return flight.
In any case, do not panic, the solutions exist and your trip will not be interrupted for all.
For all intents and purposes here is the website of the French Embassy you can find all websites of other embassies on Google...France is an example)
On this, hoping that you will not need these tips... good holiday!
