Paradise island, Koh Chang, has been labelled a red zone by the Danish Foreign Ministry due to escalations in the Thai-Cambodia border conflicts.
Denmark’s Foreign Ministry has updated its travel guidance for Thailand after an escalation in the Thailand–Cambodia border dispute. It now advises against all travel to a 50 km zone along the Cambodian border. This revelation comes after Sweden updated its travel advisory last week.
The red travel warning also covers islands in Trat province, including Koh Chang, Koh Kood, and Koh Mak. The ministry says the security situation is unstable and can deteriorate without warning.
The advisory warns of possible military clashes, missile impacts, and the introduction of curfews. Travelers are told to stay informed through local media and Thai authorities, and to follow instructions.
The change matters for Scandinavians living in Thailand and Nordic tourists heading to border areas or Trat’s islands. The ministry advises travelers to raise trip questions with their tour operator or insurance company, and to contact Denmark’s Global Watch Center for urgent assistance.
