    Canadians Urged to Use High Degree of Caution in Thailand

    TERRACE, BC. – The Government of Canada is urging Canadians planning a trip to Thailand to be aware of ongoing political tensions and specific regional dangers, issuing an official advisory to “Exercise a high degree of caution” for the country.

    For four specific southern provinces—Narathiwat, Pattani, Songkhla, and Yala—the government has issued its most serious warning: “Avoid all travel.” This is due to a long-standing and unpredictable security situation, where separatist insurgents periodically carry out violent attacks.

    Here are more details every traveller should know:

    Political Situation and Demonstrations

    While most of the country is stable, sporadic political demonstrations can occur in major cities like Bangkok. These can turn confrontational without warning. The Government of Canada advises travellers to avoid all demonstrations and large gatherings, monitor local media for updates, and follow the instructions of local authorities.

    Petty Crime and Scams

    Canadians should be aware of petty crime, such as pickpocketing and purse snatching, especially in tourist areas. There are also common scams involving gems, and rental scooters or jet skis where operators may demand excessive payment for pre-existing damage. It is wise to inspect any rental vehicle and take photos before use.

    Local Laws and Customs

    It is illegal to criticize the Thai monarchy, and this law is strictly enforced with long prison sentences. This applies to comments made both in person and online. Travellers should be extremely respectful when discussing the Royal Family.

    Health and Safety

    Travellers should ensure their routine vaccinations are up to date and consult a health care provider about other recommended vaccines for the region. Food and waterborne illnesses are also a risk, so it is advised to drink bottled water and be cautious with street food.


    For the full and most up-to-date information, always consult the official advisory page before you travel:
