SAFETY FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS
Americans traveling abroad should regularly monitor the U.S. Consulate Website for news and updated Warden Messages, and the United States Department of State travel website for updated information, including links to current Worldwide Caution, Travel Warnings, and Travel Alerts.
We also encourage United States citizens to review the Department of State guide A Safe Trip Abroad for valuable security information for those both living and traveling abroad. In addition, it is useful to check the Country Specific Information sheet for Thailand for valuable information regarding safety, security, and assistance while traveling in the area.
Citizens living and residing in Thailand are advised to register their presence in country. Please consult https://travelregistration.state.gov for further information regarding registering with the United States Consulate.
