The Indian Embassy in Bangkok has issued an advisory for Indian travelers amid rising tensions on the Thailand-Cambodia border. Travelers are urged to stay updated through official Thai sources, including the TAT Newsroom. Thailand has become a popular destination for Indian tourists, recently emerging as the third-largest source market. In 2024, over 2.1 million Indians visited Thailand, surpassing pre-pandemic levels and benefiting from the visa-free policy. The border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia stems from disagreements dating back to the early 20th century, leading to several clashes and escalating tensions. Recent incidents, including exchanges of fire and landmine explosions, have led to border closures, ambassador withdrawals, and retaliatory measures from both sides.
