Israeli Ambassador Dr. Alona Fisher-Kamm toured Surat Thani Province yesterday, August 17, to bolster safety measures for Israeli tourists. During her visit, she met with Surat Thani Provincial Police and Tourist Police officers, as well as the Commander of Tourist Police Division 3 and the Surat Thani Provincial Police Commander.
The discussions focused on enhancing visitor security and promoting responsible tourism in popular destinations like Koh Samui, Koh Pha Ngan, and Koh Tao. The ambassador expressed gratitude to local law enforcement for their assistance, emphasizing the importance of close coordination due to the high number of Israeli visitors annually.
A previous meeting with Surat Thani Governor Jumpot Wannachatsiri and regional agency heads on August 14 saw Dr. Fisher-Kamm request ongoing care for Israeli nationals residing, running businesses, or traveling in the area. She acknowledged occasional misconduct by Israeli tourists but cautioned against social media amplifying negative incidents, creating unwarranted fears.
Israel has five ongoing development projects in Thailand, including a high-value agricultural initiative on Koh Samui, which the ambassador invited Surat Thani Governor Jumpot to attend in Israel in November.
