Most of Thailand, including popular destinations such as Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Krabi, and Pattaya, is regarded as safe for international visitors. This lowest-risk classification signals that standard common-sense precautions such as guarding your valuables, being alert to pickpocketing and bag-snatching—particularly by thieves on motorbikes—and using reputable and metered taxis remain sufficient for the vast majority of travelers. British authorities recommend carrying valuables securely and being careful when traveling in open vehicles like tuk-tuks, as well as avoiding sleeping on buses or accepting drinks from strangers, steps that can significantly reduce risks.
Travelers should be especially vigilant on the roads, as traffic accidents—especially those involving motorcycles—are very common. Hazardous road conditions, lax enforcement of traffic laws, and frequent drunk driving make both driving and walking riskier, particularly during national holidays like Songkran (mid-April) and the Western New Year. Motorbike rental is popular among tourists, but these vehicles can be poorly maintained, and local helmets may not meet international safety standards. Insurance claims might be denied if an accident occurs while riding without a valid motorcycle license.
Despite the overall safe environment, there is a notable exception: the southernmost provinces of Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat, and Songkhla are subject to ongoing civil unrest and periodic violent attacks linked to separatist insurgency. The U.S. and Canadian governments strongly advise all travelers to avoid these areas, and special restrictions on government personnel are in place due to the unpredictable security situation. Most visitors do not travel to this region, and the vast majority of Thailand’s attractions—including its islands and cultural hotspots—are far from these high-risk zones.
Thailand is fully open to tourists, with no COVID-19-related requirements such as proof of vaccination or testing as of July 2025. Some airlines may have their own policies, so it is wise to verify with your carrier before departure. Thailand’s government continues to invest in visitor safety initiatives, including Tourist Assistance Centers and specialized courts for handling tourist cases.
Travel insurance remains advisable for any trip, covering common travel mishaps as well as medical emergencies. For those using taxis or tuk-tuks, it is wise to insist on the meter and avoid unlicensed vehicles. Women may feel more comfortable requesting female taxi drivers, and all travelers should clearly communicate destinations and agree on fares before setting out.
In summary, Thailand is considered one of the safest travel destinations globally as of July 2025, with only the southern border provinces presenting notable risks. Exercising routine travel caution and avoiding conflict-affected regions will allow visitors to enjoy Thailand’s rich culture, world-famous cuisine, and stunning scenery with peace of mind.
