Due to the recent armed conflict along the Thailand-Cambodia border which included military strikes and violence, and the presence of landmines, we continue to advise do not travel to areas within 50 kilometres of the Thailand-Cambodia land border throughout the provinces of Buriram, Si Saket, Sa Kaeo, Surin, Ubon Ratchathani, Chanthaburi and mainland Trat. Follow the advice of local authorities, monitor local media for updates and pay close attention to your personal security (see ‘Safety’).
There’s an ongoing risk of terrorism in Thailand. Popular tourist areas may be the target of terrorist attacks anywhere across Thailand, including Bangkok and Phuket (see ‘Safety’).
We advise:
Exercise a high degree of caution in Thailand overall due to security and safety risks.
Higher levels apply in some areas.
