Thailand warns its citizens in the Middle East

As regional tensions rise and concerns grow about the possibility of further attacks, the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs has advised Thais living in the Middle East to remain vigilant.

The Department of Consular Affairs issued the warning, urging Thai citizens in countries across the region to closely monitor news and announcements from Thai diplomatic missions.

The Thai government has advised Thais planning to travel to the Middle East to carefully reconsider their travel, and those in need of urgent assistance should contact the nearest Thai embassy or consulate general in the area.

The Thai government issued the advisory after foreign media reported that the Israeli military was continuing operations in several areas of the Gaza Strip.
