Looking ahead, by June 2025, anyone traveling to Thailand under the visa exemption scheme will also need to enroll in the country’s new Electronic Travel Authorization system. This measure is being rolled out as the Thai government expands visa exemptions and visa-on-arrival programs to additional nationalities, with the goal of improving visitor tracking and enhancing public security, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Thailand.
Thailand, as assessed by the U.S. State Department and the Global Peace Index, remains a generally safe destination, currently rated at level-1 for exercising normal precautions. However, all listeners are strongly advised to reconsider travel to the southern provinces of Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat, and Songkhla due to ongoing civil unrest and insurgent activity. These areas continue to experience sporadic violence, making them riskier than the rest of the country.
Travelers should also note that political tensions and public demonstrations may arise in Bangkok and other major cities. Canadian government advisories stress exercising a high degree of caution, especially in crowded areas where protests can occur unexpectedly.
Transport safety requires heightened vigilance. Road conditions can be hazardous due to unpredictable weather, poor enforcement of traffic laws, and frequent drunk driving—particularly around New Year’s and the Thai New Year, or Songkran. Motorcycle accidents are a leading cause of road deaths, and many rental motorcycles are poorly maintained. Helmets are mandatory, but many do not meet international safety standards, and insurance claims may be denied if you are involved in an accident without the proper license.
During monsoon season, from June to October, strong currents and rough seas make water safety a priority. Listeners should heed local warnings, avoid swimming when red flags are posted, and only use licensed operators for water-based activities. Renting vehicles requires an International Driving Permit and proper insurance, and it is best to avoid driving at night, especially on mountain roads.
For getting around, opt for official taxis or public transportation and be cautious of motorbike taxis. When using taxis, verify that the meter is running, and for tuk-tuks, negotiate the fare before the ride to avoid common tourist scams.
The main emergency number in Thailand is 191, or 112 from mobile phones. Comprehensive travel insurance is highly recommended to cover medical emergencies, accidents, or theft.
By staying up to date with official travel advisories, completing all new digital entry requirements before departure, and observing local laws and safety guidelines, listeners can help ensure a safe and enjoyable trip to Thailand in 2025.
