As this exotic destination that rests cantilevered on clear waters attempts to bring a sense of freedom and calm to those who need it, other half of the responsibility falls on the shoulders of tourists to keep in mind not only the safety and health of themselves and their closed ones, but the citizens of the majestic Maldives who are trying their best despite the challenging time.
While most Thai locals are friendly and will offer help during your stay, you must be wary of those who would take advantage of you. Be cautious of suggestions given by cab drivers or friendly strangers and trust your instincts.
