By Garry | May 29th, 2010 | Category: Travel Warnings | No Comments »Issued 29 May 2010, 19:15 by British Embassy, Bangkok, Thailand
Our travel advice has been comprehensively updated following the lifting of the Government curfew on 29 May.
We no longer advise against non-essential travel to Bangkok and Chiang Mai. We advise British nationals to exercise caution.
We advise against all travel to the Preah Vihear (Khaoi Pra Viharn in Thai) temple area, due to violence in the area. See the Local Travel section of this travel advice.
We advise against all but essential travel to, or through, the far southern provinces of Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat and Songkhla, due to the insurgency in these areas. See the Terrorism/Security section of this travel advice.
Elsewhere in Thailand, the situation is generally calm following recent political and civil unrest. There have been no serious incidents of violence since 21 May. However there remains a risk that political developments may lead to further violence. You should follow news reports and be alert to any developments which might trigger public protests or unrest.
The Government curfew in Bangkok and 23 other provinces expired on 29 May, but States of Emergency continue in Bangkok and the following provinces:
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.
This prohibits gatherings of five or more people in some areas and may restrict travel. See Terrorism/Security section of this travel advice.
You should avoid any demonstrations or large gatherings of people. If you become aware of any nearby violence you should stay indoors, monitor this travel advice and the local media. You should exercise caution, especially in the cities of Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Khon Kaen, Ubon Ratchathani and Udon Thani.
