このコンテンツについて
The U.S. State Department raised the advisory level for certain regions within Thailand due to civil unrest associated with ongoing insurgent activities. Specifically, the southern provinces of Yala, Pattani, and Narathiwat remain areas of increased risk, with seventeen districts under a declared state of emergency amid periodic violence between security forces and insurgents. Travelers should avoid all travel to these provinces, as the U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency services there. In addition, listeners should avoid travel to any area within fifty kilometers of the Thailand-Cambodia border because of recent armed conflict between Thai and Cambodian forces that led to civilian casualties and mass evacuations. Although a ceasefire was established at the end of July, the situation remains volatile and border crossings are closed to tourists according to the U.S. Embassy and Thai authorities.
On a national level, Thailand’s major tourist destinations—including Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai, and the popular islands—remain generally safe for foreign visitors who exercise normal precautions. Most advisories emphasize extra vigilance in areas with ongoing political tensions, particularly in Bangkok, where political demonstrations may occur and can sometimes escalate into violence. The government of Canada advises a high degree of caution in Thailand due to sporadic protests and political unrest.
Apart from political and security concerns, travel safety in Thailand requires awareness of other risks. The recent dry months brought hazardous air pollution to northern cities like Chiang Mai and even Bangkok, affecting sensitive groups and travelers with respiratory conditions. Road accidents are frequent and hazardous conditions, combined with disregard for traffic laws and a high rate of drunk driving, make road safety a significant concern. Driving or riding motorcycles in Thailand is discouraged due to the high rate of accidents and poorly maintained rental vehicles; helmets are mandatory but typically do not meet international safety standards.
Travelers entering Thailand must complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card online prior to arrival. This change was implemented in May 2025 for all air, land, or sea entries.
Listeners planning travel to Thailand should stay informed about current events, avoid border areas and the southern provinces of Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat, and Songkhla. Monitor local news for updates on demonstrations and political unrest, be cautious about air quality, and take extra care with transportation choices. Millions still enjoy safe and rewarding visits to Thailand by heeding official guidance and adopting sensible precautions throughout their journey.
