The FCDO is also urging holidaymakers heading to the Southeast Asian country, which is popular with tourists, to avoid all but essential travel on the Hat Yai (Thailand) to Padang Besar (Malaysia) train line that runs through these provinces.
The government said this is due to ‘regular attacks’ in the provinces along the Thailand-Malaysia border.

A spokesperson said: “FCDO advises against all but essential travel to parts of the south, near the Thailand-Malaysia border: Pattani Province, Yala Province, Narathiwat Province, and Southern Songkhla Province – south of the A43 road between Hat Yai and Sakom, and south of the train line which runs between Hat Yai and Padang Besar.
“FCDO also advises against all but essential travel on the Hat Yai to Padang Besar train line that runs through these provinces.
“This is due to regular attacks in the provinces by the border with Malaysia. See Safety and security.”
