The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) confirms that travel and tourism activities across the country remain normal and unaffected. At the same time, this Travel Advisory – Border Safety Measures in Place Across Eastern and Northeastern Thailand is issued to inform that security measures remain active in selected areas of seven provinces along the Thailand–Cambodia border: Ubon Ratchathani, Si Sa Ket, Surin, Buri Ram, Sa Kaeo, Chanthaburi, and Trat. Martial law continues in designated districts of Chanthaburi and Trat. A ceasefire between Thai and Cambodian forces remains in effect, and local authorities are closely monitoring the situation.
Nationwide, domestic and international transport services—including air, rail, bus, and ferry—are operating as usual, and major destinations such as Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Samui, Krabi, Pattaya (Chon Buri), and Ayutthaya continue to welcome visitors.
Travellers are advised to avoid all restricted zones and checkpoints along the Thailand–Cambodia border, where security measures remain in effect and entry or exit is currently suspended.
