If you’re planning to travel internationally, there’s even MORE planning that goes into those trips than when you travel domestically.
Let’s go somewhere!
You may have to deal with layovers at the airport, not speaking the language of the country you’re in, and making sure you can make phone calls and texts while traveling internationally. However, if you were thinking of heading to these two countries soon, you need to know that their travel advisories have just changed.
Two travel advisories have been raised to Level 2 by the U.S. Department of State: Thailand and Cambodia. The change happened on July 25th, and both are due to armed conflict on the Cambodia and Thai border.

In Cambodia, guests are told to exercise increased caution due to Street crime in Phnom Penh, particularly phone and bag snatchings. However, in Battambang, Banteay Meanchey, Pursat, Siem Reap, Pailin, and Kampong Thom provinces, landmines and unexploded ordnance have been found in remote areas.

For Thailand, the U.S. Department of State says that, “Periodic violence between Thai security services and armed insurgents has been known to occur in Thailand’s three southernmost provinces of Yala, Pattani, and Narathiwat. Seventeen districts in these provinces remain under a declared state of emergency due to ongoing violent conflict. There is a collateral risk of violence for U.S. citizens in Thailand’s southernmost provinces due to low-intensity conflict.”

Now, travel to the countries isn’t prohibited by any means, and it isn’t even discouraged — if you’re traveling soon, you’ll just need to exercise increased caution and stay aware of your surroundings.
