The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has urged Thai nationals in the Middle East to remain vigilant as regional tensions continue to escalate and the risk of further military attacks increases.
In an advisory issued on Sunday, the Department of Consular Affairs said the security situation in the region appeared to be deteriorating and could lead to renewed hostilities.
The ministry advised Thai citizens living across the Middle East to closely monitor local news reports, follow announcements from local authorities and Thai diplomatic missions, and strictly comply with security measures imposed by host governments. They were also urged to avoid high-risk areas whenever possible.
Those planning to travel to the region were advised to carefully assess the necessity of their trips before departure.
Thai nationals requiring emergency assistance were advised to contact the nearest Thai embassy or consulate-general, or the Department of Consular Affairs' 24-hour hotline at +66 2-572-8442.
The advisory came as international media reported continued Israeli military operations in parts of the Gaza Strip and rising tensions involving Iran.
US President Donald Trump said late on Saturday that he had cancelled threatened US strikes on Iran if a deal could be reached quickly to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and address what he described as Iran's nuclear threat.
Writing on Truth Social, Mr Trump said Iran had asked him to delay military action, claiming that the "perimeters of a deal" had been reached. He also said Israel had agreed to a pause in fighting.
