Despite this positive rating, travelers are advised to exercise increased caution in the southernmost provinces of Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat, and parts of Songkhla due to ongoing civil unrest and periodic violence linked to insurgent activity. The U.S. State Department and other sources note that these areas remain under a state of emergency and are not included in the Level 1 “safe” assessment. The ability of foreign governments to offer assistance in these regions is limited, and travel should be avoided in and through these provinces.
Listeners planning travel to Thailand should also be mindful of road safety. Accidents involving vehicles and pedestrians are frequent due to hazardous road conditions, local disregard for traffic laws, and the prevalence of drunk driving, especially during peak holiday periods like the western New Year and Thai New Year. Motorcycle and scooter accidents are a leading cause of road deaths, and many rental vehicles do not meet international safety standards. Helmets are mandatory but not always adequate, and insurance claims may be denied if a proper motorcycle license isn’t held.
Common-sense safety practices are recommended throughout the country. Travelers should opt for official transportation from airports, watch that taxi meters start at the correct rate, agree on fares in advance for tuk-tuks, and use pedestrian bridges wherever possible, particularly in busy urban areas. Solo travelers, especially women, are advised to communicate clearly with drivers and consider requesting female cab drivers through hotel concierges.
New entry rules for 2025 require foreign nationals staying in Thailand for over 90 days to notify the nearest immigration officer of their place of residence.
In summary, Thailand is broadly considered a safe destination for international travelers, with enhanced safety in most major tourist hubs and improved public confidence. However, listeners should avoid travel to the far southern provinces due to security concerns and remain vigilant regarding road safety and general travel precautions to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
