 |
|
hello
Planning a first trip to Thailand in two weeks; but just came across this, from the Australian Dept of Foreign Affairs (http://www.smartraveller.gov.au/zw-c...ice/Thailand):
| Quote: | | We advise you to exercise a high degree of caution because of the high threat of terrorist attack. We continue to receive reports that terrorists may be planning attacks against a range of targets, including tourist areas and other places frequented by foreigners. |
Any thoughts from the Thailand experts? |

The Foreign Office has warned Britons against travelling to Bangkok after violence and rioting erupted in the Thai capital.
Soldiers and tanks appeared in the city after the Thai authorities declared a state of emergency - a day after protests stopped a major Asian summit.
The FCO urged anyone considering a trip to the capital or its surrounding areas to "urgently review their plans".
It estimates that 40,000 British nationals live in Thailand.
Advice on the FCO website read: "In view of the deteriorating security situation anyone considering going to Bangkok should urgently review their plans. |
