Overview

• The FCDO advises against all but essential travel to within 50km of Thailand’s Cambodia frontier in Buriram, Si Saket, Surin and Ubon Ratchathani after rocket and artillery exchanges on July 24.
• All Thailand-Cambodia land crossings are suspended; key sites such as the Preah Vihear, Ta Kwai, Ta Muen Thom temples remain closed amid unexploded landmine dangers.
• The advisory extends to Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat, southern Songkhla provinces plus the Hat Yai–Padang Besar train line because of regular insurgent attacks near the Malaysia border.
• Travellers face insurance invalidation if they ignore updated FCDO travel warnings alongside revised insurance guidance.
• Visitors must meet advance visa requirements at Laos crossings as Myanmar’s security remains unpredictable, liable to change without notice.
