Travel Advisory: Border Safety Measures Across Eastern and Northeastern Thailand
A sharp alert has resurfaced for travelers to eastern and northeastern Thailand as authorities maintain heightened security along the Thailand–Cambodia border. Seven provinces—Ubon Ratchathani, Si Sa Ket, Surin, Buri Ram, Sa Kaeo, Chanthaburi, and Trat—remain under border safety measures, with martial law still active in selected districts of Chanthaburi and Trat. While a ceasefire between Thai and Cambodian forces is in effect, the Tourism Authority of Thailand urges visitors and residents to proceed with caution and to follow all instructions from local authorities and security personnel. For many Thai families and regional economies that depend on tourism, the situation signals a need to reassess travel plans, especially in border-adjacent areas.
