Thailand travel information
Travelling in Thailand is relatively easy and cheap, with little security risk in most tourist areas and the benefit of a well developed tourist infrastructure. There is also a dedicated tourist police who keep pickpocketing and theft to a minimum, and the medical services are of good quality.
Since this region is prone to outbreaks of separatist violence in some areas, as well as health risks, we recommended you check up-to-date travel advice regarding Thailand from the Foreign & Commonwealth Office.
