Due to the ongoing armed conflict along the Thailand-Cambodia border, we now 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, including when navigating maritime areas near the maritime borders (see ‘Safety’).

Armed conflict between Thai and Cambodian forces along the Thailand-Cambodia border has increased. This includes military strikes, violence and landmines near the border areas of Buriram, Si Saket, Sa Kaeo, Surin, Ubon Ratchathani, Chanthaburi and mainland Trat provinces. There are reports of casualties. Martial law has been declared in some districts in these provinces. Follow the advice of local authorities, monitor local media for updates and pay close attention to your personal security. Border crossing points along the Thailand-Cambodia border continue to be closed.

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.
