Singapore's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has advised Singaporeans travelling to, or staying in, Thailand during the June holiday period to exercise vigilance in the wake of a number of incidents last year.

In a travel notice posted on its website on Tuesday (June 7), MFA said Singaporeans should update themselves on the latest developments through Thai news outlets and heed the instructions of local authorities.

"Singaporeans are also advised to take all necessary precautions to ensure their personal safety, including purchasing comprehensive travel insurance and be familiar with the terms and coverage of the insurance policies," the noticed added.
