  Please be advised that there recently was a political situation in the Thai Capital of Bangkok. Should you travel to Bangkok it is advisable to obtain a Thailand Travel Insurance policy as there were reports of rioting throughout the city. Please consult your governement for an update on the current situation prior to departing on any journey to Thailand.

Religion and the Monarchy are the two cornerstones of Thai society. The National Anthem is usually played twice a day through out Thailand. It is considered an insult to the royal family if you do not stand during the National Anthem. It is also a crime to make derogatory or negative comments about the king or royal family. Doing so can carry a prison penalty of up to 15 years in prison.

There have been outbreaks of Bird Flu (Avian Influenza) in China, and throughout the rest of Asia, which have resulted in a small number of human fatalities. You should ensure that all poultry dishes are cooked thoroughly and avoid places where you may come into contact with wild or domestic birds

Do not sit down with the soles of your feet facing anyone. This is the worst type of insult that a person can give in a social situation. The feet denote low social status, and showing your soles implies that you do not find the person you are seeing worth talking to.

Do not traffic or use drugs in Thailand. This is a serious offence and can be punishable by death. However, please be aware that the number of drug related crimes (i.e. drink spiking and date rape) is on the rise, it is advisable for women to be especially cautious

All tourists are required to have their passport on their person at all times. In the past there have been some arrests because of this.

Visas to enter Thailand are only available through a Thai consulate, embassy or immigration officer. Visas obtained through travel agencies are likely illegal. Having an illegal visa may mean deportation from Thailand, and prohibition on entering the country again.

There are a number of health alerts in Thailand. Avian flu, Japanese B Encephalitis, Dengue fever and Malaria are all currently listed as Thai health threats. Take the necessary precautions to protect yourself and be aware of emergency contacts in the event that you become ill.

Do not accept transportation from unlicensed buses or taxis as these can pose a safety threat. Unlicensed taxis will always have a black and white license plate as apposed to the yellow and black license plates that can be found on legitimate transport.
