The UK Foreign Office has updated its travel advice for those planning a trip to Thailand, warning of a “high threat” of terrorism. The government department regularly revises its guidance to ensure the safety of Britons travelling abroad.
On Tuesday, July 2, a new alert was issued specifically for those heading to Thailand, a popular holiday destination for many UK residents, with hotspots including Bangkok and Phuket, reports the Liverpool Echo.
The latest Gov.UK alert states: “Terrorists are likely to try to carry out attacks in Thailand. FCDO advises against all but essential travel to the following due to regular terrorist attacks:
The Foreign Office advice added that “martial law is in place in most areas in these provinces, which means security forces have greater security enforcement and investigative powers. However, terrorist attacks could take place anywhere in Thailand. Attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places visited by foreigners”.
Potential targets, according to government officials, may encompass security forces, government offices, hotels, shops and supermarkets, or transport infrastructure. Travellers are advised to “stay aware of your surroundings, keep up to date with local media reports and follow the advice of local authorities.”
