In an Emergency
If you find yourself facing a problem you'll
find that nearly everyone will want to try to help you. You are
a guest in Thailand and your concern is shared by all of the
people around you, even total strangers.
DO NOT BECOME ANGRY. Whether you are
Right or wrong you will be treated with full respect as long as
you remain calm and act friendly. REMAIN POLITE AT ALL TIMES,
KEEP A SMILE while working at solving your problem. A smile
will take you further than you can imagine and you will be
treated with respect. Becoming upset and angry will
automatically produce results harmful to your cause.

valuables on your person when sleeping in a bus,

the cash and valuables you need.
