U.S. citizens are advised to avoid all travel to the area within 50 kilometers of the Thailand-Cambodia border due to ongoing military conflict in the region. Today, July 25, the Royal Thai Government ordered the full shutdown of border crossings in both Chanthaburi and Trat provinces, including both land and maritime routes. The Ministry of Public Health announced full or partial closure of 11 hospitals within the border region and the Ministry of Education announced the temporary closure of 751 schools across the provinces of Ubon Ratchathani, Sisaket, Buri Ram, Surin, Sa Kaeo and Chanthaburi. U.S. citizens living or traveling in the affected areas should follow direction from Thai security services and consult local government authorities for the latest information.
