Most dangerous holiday destinations revealed: Britons most likely to be hospitalised in Bangkok and arrested in Mexico City

A total of 84,000 British citizens required help from the Consulate last year around the world, ranging from medical and illness assistance, to help with arrests and lost property.
The report looked at each month of 2014, dissecting what cases were looked at where British government assistance was required.
It's worth preparing for the worst of you are travelling to Bangkok as the Thai capital has the highest number of cases where the British Consulate has stepped in to help out Britons in trouble.

In research released by the Foreign Office for 2014, Bangkok emerged as the destination where most Britons found themselves in trouble on holiday, with the need for medical advice and attention the biggest reason.
Paris and Malaga followed Bangkok in the list, but both had almost a quarter of cases compared to that of the the Far Eastern city, where there were around 8,000 cases of Britons requiring overseas help.


As far as drug arrests were concerned, Spanish party-city Malaga topped the pile on the highest number of Britons requiring assistance with drug-related offences, with around 50 cases recorded.
Bangkok was again up there with around 33 cases, followed by the city of love Paris and Mexico recording 33 cases apiece.

The summer season sees a dramatic increase in the number of drug-related offences - in July alone 150 Britons were arrested around the world adding more work for the foreign office.
Poor hygiene in Thailand contributes to Bangkok being ahead of everywhere else when it comes to cases of Britons needing hospital attention.
And of course, with the language barrier often leading to confusion, it's little surprise the British Consulate is called upon to mediate and ensure the right treatments are given.
Those countries that have a buzzing nightlife and club scene were also unsurprisingly high in the list where hospital treatment was required.
Malaga again made the top five, alongside Tenerife, Palma and Alicante. 
Numbers lower than five in the research were averaged between one and five, and so given as three for reporting purposes.
The clubbing scene appears to be linked to drug arrests, with more Britons arrested for these offences in Malaga than anywhere else
