After a string of grenade attacks killed at least one person and wounded dozens of others in Bangkok last week, Thai government made an announcement that foreigners have not been targeted in the on-going political conflict.

However, visitors and tourists are advised to be vigilant, follow news developments, exercise extra caution and avoid areas near the UDD rally site and areas where demonstrators gather.

The Royal Thai Government attaches priority to ensuring public safety, including that of foreigners residing in Thailand, and will continue to implement measures to ensure public safety, including checkpoints and patrols.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ 24-hour operation centre provides foreigners with further information. Please call +662-575-1023, +662-981-7225, +66-88-022-1540 or +66-88-022-1541.

Thai Tourism Industry representatives are on stand-by to provide round-the-clock assistance to foreign tourists and visitors.
