SAFETY AND SECURITY: There is currently a serious safety risk in Thailand, and all potential visitors are strongly advised to read this travel advisory before finalizing travel plans.
Recent video footage from North East Thailand indicates that this region and many other parts of Thailand are extremely dangerous. Victims were observed being roped and dragged into tiny wooden enclosures. Babies were separated from their mothers and acts of extreme torture were observed. Infants were beaten with wooden poles imbedded with nails. At one point a victim is repeatedly stabbed in the head with a curved blade. All of the victims were denied food, water and rest for days and remain captive to this day, forced to work against their will in camps throughout Thailand. It is known that several have been seen tired and hungry, forced to beg for food and money, in the streets of Bangkok.
