[quote=Anonymous]I used to see a red alert on the CDC page for Thailand warning pregnant travelers not to go, but it has since been removed. The only information on the page now is pasted below and seems quite general, and also puts Thailand in the same risk category as the United States. Is it still a risk to pregnant women? I just got pregnant but have a pre-booked 3 day trip to Thailand in June; not sure if I need to cancel my trip.... my friends in Thailand said no one is concerned about Zika there anymore. Anyone else have experience traveling to another country with current/past Zika cases?

"You Might be at Risk of Zika in Thailand
Thailand has reported past or current Zika virus transmission.
We do not have accurate information on the current level of risk. There may be delays in detection and reporting of new outbreaks.
Because Zika is a cause of severe birth defects, CDC recommends pregnant women and couples trying to become pregnant within the next 3 months work with their health care providers to carefully consider the risks and possible consequences of travel to areas with risk of Zika.
If you travel, you should strictly follow steps to minimize exposure to and prevent mosquito bites."
