Our travel advice has been updated :
We advise against all travel to the city of Bangkok.
There were a number of violent incidents in Bangkok on 19 May, after security forces cleared anti-Government Red Shirt protest sites, including a large number of buildings set on fire.
The situation is highly unpredictable and further acts of violence are likely. British nationals already in Bangkok should monitor this travel advice and local media before going out. If violence breaks out, you should remain indoors. You should also comply with any curfew in force. British nationals elsewhere in Thailand should wherever possible take transport services which do not involve transiting Bangkok.
A curfew is in place from 21:00 to 05:00, until the morning of 23 May in the city of Bangkok and in the following provinces where a State of Emergency is in place:
Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Nakhon Pathom, Ayutthaya, Chon Buri, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lampang, Nakhon Sawan, Nan, Khon Kaen, Udon Thani, Chaiyaphum, Nakhom Ratchasima, Si Saket, Ubon Ratchathani, Nong Bua Lumphu, Mahasarakham, Roi Et, Sakhon Nakhon, Kalasin, Muk Da Han and Samutprakarn.
British Nationals in these provinces should comply with any curfew in place. It is possible that this curfew may be extended for a longer period.
There have been reports of violence in the north eastern cities of Khon Kaen and Udon Thani, and the northern city of Chiang Rai. There is a continued risk of further violence in the north and north east of Thailand. British nationals in these areas should exercise extreme caution and monitor this travel advice and local media before deciding whether to go out. You should comply with any curfew in force.
British nationals requiring urgent consular assistance should call 02 305 8333 (in Thailand) .
