Travel Safety Guide
Updated 10 May 2010, at 04:00 pm

This advice has been reviewed and reissued with amendments to the Summary and the Terrorism and Security section (small explosion on 9 May near the Siam BTS station). The overall level of the advice has not changed; We advise against all travel to specific parts of Thailand. We advise against all but essential travel to other specific parts of Thailand, including Bangkok. We advise against all but essential travel to the city of Bangkok, in view of the continued political unrest. You should exercise caution, especially in the northern provinces and the eastern city of Pattaya. The political situation is unpredictable and throughout Thailand there is a continued risk that protests may result in violent disturbances. Travellers are advised to avoid political demonstrations and large gatherings. We advise against all travel to the Preah Vihear (Khaoi Pra Viharn in Thai) temple area, due to violence in the area. See the Local Travel section of this Travel Advice. We advise against all but essential travel to, or through, the far southern provinces of Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat and Songkhla, due to the insurgency in these areas. See the Terrorism / Security section of this Travel Advice.
