The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has updated its travel advice for three popular holiday destinations, warning Britons against travel to certain areas in Turkey, Thailand, and Mexico.
In Turkey, the FCDO advises against all travel to within 10 kilometres of the border with Syria due to ongoing fighting and a heightened risk of terrorism.
For Thailand, the FCDO advises against all but essential travel to parts of the south near the Malaysia border, including Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat provinces, as well as specific districts in Songkhla Province. The advice also covers the Hat Yai to Padang Besar train line. Additionally, all but essential travel is advised within 20 kilometres of the land border with Cambodia, following clashes in July 2025 that involved rocket and artillery fire, with ongoing tensions and unexploded landmines.
In Mexico, the FCDO advises against all but essential travel to certain areas, though specific regions were not detailed in the source. The advice is particularly relevant for those planning trips for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, scheduled from July 11 to July 19.
The FCDO urges travellers to check the latest guidance before planning their holidays to ensure safety.
