The U.S. Department of State advises normal precautions in Thailand. Thailand is generally safe, but increased caution is advised near the Thai-Cambodian border due to armed conflict risk, and in Yala, Pattani, and Narathiwat provinces due to unrest.
The U.S. lowered Thailand's advisory to Level 1, but added the Thai-Cambodian border and three southern provinces as Level 2 areas due to armed conflict and unrest risks. Travelers should follow local security directives.
The UK FCDO updated its Cambodia travel advice, advising against all but essential travel within 20km of the Thai land border due to conflict. Heavy fighting occurred in 2025, including airstrikes and artillery. A ceasefire was signed on 27 December, but tensions remain. Land borders and crossings are suspended, some border temples are closed, and unexploded ordnance poses risks.
The U.S. Department of State raised Cambodia's travel advisory to Level 2 (Exercise Increased Caution), adding an 'unrest' risk indicator and an area of increased risk. The advisory cites crime and landmines, with frequent street crime in Phnom Penh and occasional violent crime. Areas within 50km of the Cambodia-Thailand border are Level 4 (Do Not Travel) due to armed conflict, with reports of rocket and artillery fire and civilian casualties.
The UK FCDO advises against all but essential travel to Xaisomboun Province due to intermittent attacks and armed clashes. Flood risks during heavy rain are highlighted. Middle East escalation may disrupt flights. Land borders with Thailand and Cambodia are affected by conflict.
