We advise against all but essential travel to, or through, the far southern provinces of Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat and Songkhla, where there is continuing violence due to insurgency and civil unrest.
Since January 2004, there have been regular attacks including bombings and shootings.
There were a number of explosions in August 2006.
On 16 September 2006, four bombs exploded in the town of Hat Yai killing four and injuring approximately 68.

Two British nationals were amongst a number of foreign nationals injured in this latest attack.
The Thai Government has declared a serious state of emergency in the provinces of Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat.
