That's a good one.

Another one would be use ATMs instead of currency exchanges -- better exchange rates and lower fees

That’s an impressive thread you’ve created. Well, whenever tourists would plan to visit abroad they should take care of these things which are mentioned below:
• Don’t talk to strangers while traveling alone as a woman
• Don’t eat street food
• Leave copies of itinerary and passport data page in case of emergency
• Bring with you medical equipment
Also, you can always bring ATM when you leaving home.

I don't agree with the not eating street food. When I was in India and Thailand street food was some of the tastiest food around! Although I would use my initiative. Places that are popular and serve a lot of food are the best places - especially places popular with women and families. That means their turnover is high and the food is usually really fresh.

1. Say Hello, to all other travelers. You never know when you need help.
2. Theft. Out of site, out of mind. Do not show people what you have. People steal what they can see. EXAMPLE: Walking around with a camera. Put it in a backpack.
3. Always take a taxi, or bus, etc from bus station to hotel.
4. Store you passport, travel check information in you e-mail box. Scan
5. Carry a Padlock, Place it on a door. Put eyelet screw on door if possible or when needed, use your own lock.
6. Do not look rich, dress, jewelry, tourist clothes, expensive backpack.
7. Take long pants on all bus rides. Take lots of clothes.
8. Take lots of pictures, its all that will remain.

Im liking the tips, there are some good ones. I like loose fitting linen trousers on long bus rides. They keep you cool and are comfortable.
I also agree that all passports, travellers cheques etc should be scanned and a copy should be left somewhere.
