Know the risks
Common things to watch out for
Phone theft
Phones get snatched on the strip — and thieves can take money online straight from your mobile. Keep it secured and locked.
Pickpockets
Busy bars, crowds and queues are prime spots. Keep wallets and valuables out of back pockets.
Scams (peamen)
Street “peamen” and other con games are designed to part you from your cash. Walk on by.
Beach cocktail sellers
Some beach drink sellers run scams. Be wary of bargains that seem too good to be true.
Mugging
On foot and from car gangs. Stay aware on quiet streets and stick with your group at night.
Hotel safe thefts
Hotel room safes aren’t always as safe as they look. Keep valuables to a minimum and don’t flash cash.
Organised gangs
Organised robberies and home (apartment) invasions do happen. Lock up and don’t let strangers follow you in.
Stay sorted
A few simple tips
- Keep phones secured, locked and out of sight.
