Level 1: Exercise Normal PrecautionsExercise Normal PrecautionsUpdated: July 7, 2026
Why This Level

Sawasdee! Thailand has been lowered to Level 1 - exercise normal precautions in most of the country. Two areas remain higher risk: do not travel to the Thailand-Cambodia border area due to armed conflict, and exercise increased caution in the far-southern provinces of Yala, Pattani, and Narathiwat due to civil unrest and insurgent activity.
