Thailand

Overview

There are more significant safety or security concerns than you would usually find in New Zealand. Thailand has experienced regular large-scale political demonstrations in Bangkok and other cities in Thailand.

Other things that New Zealanders travelling or living in Thailand should be aware of are:

Terrorism—there is an ongoing threat of terrorism in cities and tourist destinations.
Crime—Watch out for petty crime, such as theft and drink-spiking, especially in tourist areas, and on public transport.
Road safety—road accidents are common, often causing death or serious injury. Motorcyclists and pedestrians are most at risk.
