EMERGENCY UPDATE: Thailand-Cambodia Border Situation

Date: 11 December 2025 (Day 4 of Conflict)

Go Beyond Client Status: We confirm that currently, no Go Beyond travelers are located in the affected border zones. We are actively tracking the location of all guests in the region. Our Operations Team remains on high alert and is monitoring the situation around the clock to ensure guest safety is not compromised.

Situation Overview

Current Status: Cross-border hostilities between Thailand and Cambodia have intensified and entered their fourth consecutive day. Despite a previously brokered ceasefire, artillery, drone, and rocket strikes are continuing along several border sectors.

Key Developments:

• Humanitarian Impact: The conflict has caused widespread displacement, with reports indicating over 500,000 residents from both nations have fled their homes. Schools and public facilities in border provinces are closed.
• Casualties: Regrettably, Thailand has confirmed its first civilian casualties in this renewed escalation.
• Diplomatic Stance: Thailand has currently rejected third-party mediation, insisting on accountability. Preparations are underway to repatriate Thai nationals from affected areas in Cambodia.
• International Response: The United States, the Vatican, and other international actors are urging an immediate halt to violence, though deep-rooted territorial disputes remain a complex obstacle.

Operational Impact for Travelers:

• Border Crossings: We advise against all overland travel between Thailand and Cambodia at this time. Expect closures or extreme delays at border checkpoints.
• Major Hubs: Tourist hubs (Bangkok, Siem Reap, Phuket, etc.) remain operational, but we advise vigilance.
• Go Beyond Action: We are reviewing all upcoming itineraries that involve land crossings or proximity to the border. Alternative routes and flight options are being prepared for any bookings scheduled in the next 7 days.

Conclusion: This is an evolving situation with significant regional instability. We will continue to provide daily updates or immediate alerts if the scope of the conflict changes.
