1. Considering the fact that large-scale demonstrations have dispersed and no additional uprising
has occurred in Bangkok, Thailand, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade has lowered the Travel-
alert Level for Bangkok from Level 2 (Highly Cautious) to Level 1 (Precautious) as of June 9.
ㅇ Korean nationals staying in Bangkok are asked to pay heed to their own safety.

bloodshed broke out last year, the Foreign Ministry has lowered the Travel-alert Level for the regions
from Level 3 (Travel Restricted) to Level 2 (Highly Cautious).
ㅇ Korean nationals staying in Tibet and Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Regions are asked to pay
more heed to their own safety. Those who have been planning to visit the regions are requested to
reconsider their need to travel.
