Is It safe to go to Thailand now?
Over the past several years there has been a good deal of political unrest in Bangkok, including a coup and a number of serious protests in Bangkok and at the city’s international airports.
Recently supporters of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra have been protesting in Bangkok and other areas of Thailand.
While some of the protests have been peaceful, recent bombings and explosions as well as military attacks on protesters in central Bangkok have killed a number of people and the situation is volatile.
The Silom business district in Bangkok along Thanon Ratchadamnoen Nok is the most severely affected area and it is advisable to avoid going there.
If you plan to visit Thailand, make sure to keep informed about the situation and avoid protest areas if demonstrations take place.
Make sure to check your country’s Thai embassy website for full updates on travel advisory warnings for visiting Thailand before you travel.
