Re: Thailand Travel Restrictions and Info
I don't think many of the Malaysians are flying into anywhere. They are doing short land-crossing trips.

Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), Malaysia and Brunei director Nongyao Jirundorn told The New Straits Timesarmchairlawyer wrote: ↑Thu Jul 28, 2022 8:58 am I don't think many of the Malaysians are flying into anywhere. They are doing short land-crossing trips.
that a majority of Malaysians visited Songkhla province, where the popular towns of Haadyai and Dannok were located.
"Other popular destinations were Sungai Golok in Narathiwat and Betong in the Yala provinces.
There are long queues at the border immigration checkpoints for visitors travelling by road.

If you listen to FCO you wouldn't set foot in the area.
The FCDO advise against all but essential travel to Thailand’s southernmost provinces of Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat, and to southern Songkhla province. There are regular attacks in these areas. On 5 November 2019, an attack against a security checkpoint in Yala province resulted in 15 deaths. Methods of attack can include arson, bombings and shootings. Targets have included civilians and members of the security forces, government offices, tourist hotels, discos, bars, shops, marketplaces, supermarkets, schools, transport infrastructure and trains. Over 7,700 people, including civilians, have been killed and several thousand more injured since 2004.
Martial law has been in place in nearly all areas within these provinces since 2006. The security authorities can detain suspects without charge, censor the media, conduct searches and seize documents.
