  • You should not go to those countries that seem unsafe to you: Thailand, India, Bangladesh. And if you decide to go there, carefully choose a place and a hotel.
  • To resorts where there is at least a hint of an unfriendly attitude towards Russians. Your vacation could turn into a nightmare, so read the reviews carefully.
