Mr. Sorawong Thiengthong, Minister of Tourism and Sports, expressed his appreciation to the U.S. government for its recognition of Thailand’s safety and hospitality standards. “This is wonderful news for Thai tourism,” he said. “Being listed among the safest travel destinations by the United States significantly reinforces global confidence in visiting Thailand.”
Thailand now joins an exclusive group of countries, including Japan, Australia, Canada, and Singapore, that are also classified at Level 1. This ranking is expected to have a positive impact on international tourism sentiment, especially among high-spending markets like the United States, where travellers seek safe and quality destinations.
Mr. Sorawong added, “The new travel advisory is not only a boost for traveller confidence but also a strong signal for the Thai tourism industry. It benefits our hotels, restaurants, and tourism-related businesses across the country, creating job opportunities, stimulating grassroots economies, and driving Thailand forward as a ‘Quality Destination’ on the global stage.”
As part of the Amazing Thailand Grand Tourism and Sports Year 2025, the Kingdom reaffirms its commitment to welcoming visitors with signature Thai hospitality, world-class events, and the highest standards of safety—ensuring a memorable and secure travel experience for all.
