The U.S. State Department currently classifies Thailand as a level-1 country, which means travelers should exercise normal precautions. However, this general rating doesn't apply to all areas of the country. The State Department specifically recommends reconsidering travel to the southern provinces of Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat, and Songkhla due to civil unrest associated with ongoing insurgent activities. The Canadian government goes further, advising travelers to avoid these southern provinces entirely because of the unpredictable security situation and violent attacks by separatist insurgents.
Beginning May 1st, 2025, Thailand implemented a new requirement for all foreign nationals. Whether you're arriving by air, land, or sea, you must complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card electronically within three days before your arrival. This is a mandatory step for all international travelers entering the country.
In terms of safety, Thailand ranks 76th out of 163 countries on the Global Peace Index, showing improvement from its 92nd position in 2023. The country scores well for having few external conflicts but receives lower marks for its high incarceration rate. U.S. travelers rate Thailand as the 29th safest country out of 42 in Berkshire Hathaway Travel Protection's safety ratings, with LGBTQ+ and affluent travelers generally considering it safer than other demographic groups.
Road safety deserves special attention if you're visiting Thailand. Vehicle accidents involving pedestrians are extremely frequent, with motorcycle accidents accounting for the majority of road deaths. The Canadian government travel advisory specifically recommends avoiding driving or riding motorcycles in Thailand, even for experienced motorcyclists. Hazards include local disregard for traffic laws, drunk driving (particularly around New Year celebrations in January and mid-April), and poor road conditions during the rainy season from June to October.
When visiting Thailand, be mindful of local customs and laws. Travelers should maintain appropriate attire, especially when visiting temples and religious sites. Don't wear shoes inside religious places, and maintain a respectful distance from Buddhist monks. Thailand is known to have strict laws, and violations can result in severe penalties.
For those concerned about health risks, the CDC recommends that travelers going to certain areas of Thailand take prescription medicine to prevent malaria, depending on your itinerary.
Popular and generally safe tourist destinations include Khao Yai National Park, the Chatuchak Weekend Market in Bangkok, and The Grand Palace complex with its beautiful traditional Thai architecture. However, travelers are advised to avoid isolated beaches, especially when traveling solo, as robbery can be a concern.
By staying informed and taking appropriate precautions, you can enjoy a safe and rewarding experience in Thailand's rich cultural landscape and natural beauty.
