Border Tensions Prompt Indian Embassy Advisory for Thailand-Cambodia Travel

The Indian Embassy in Bangkok has issued a travel advisory in response to the escalating border tensions between Thailand and Cambodia. Indian travelers are urged to keep abreast of developments by monitoring updates from official Thai sources, including the TAT Newsroom. Thailand remains a popular destination for Indian tourists, achieving the status of the third-largest source market. The surge in Indian visitors, exceeding 2.1 million in 2024, underscores the appeal of the visa-free policy. The current dispute, rooted in century-old disagreements, has witnessed recent violence and escalating tensions. These incidents have prompted border closures, diplomatic actions, and trade restrictions from both sides.
