Tank shells or machingun bullets do not know the difference between tourist, freedom fighter or government troops. For the sake of your friends and family wait until the situation develops before jumping on a plane. If all goes t-ts up we will have one more body-bag to repatriate, just for the sake of a holiday!

Yep I would - I doubt it'll be any more risky than usual for foreigners. However, I'd check on the Foreign Office website to see what advice they're giving too.

I was living in Ecuador when the exact same thing happened, and everything carried on as normal. Sadly the people there are used to this happening every other year. The international media normally makes these things look much worse than they are.

Yes. Could now be a reduction for mail order brides!!

I am not sure where you are located but if I were going there with all the fuss going on now I would contact my own countries state department or foreign office and find out what they say. If they say no you should contact your credit card company and see what they will do about refunds et al.

HOOPS

Apparently its all calm over there now with elections next year.
I`m going in 3 weeks time and i intend to go.
Enjoy it,i went in march and cant wait to get back.

ive just watch the news and personally i would not go, it looks as though there is a war going on over there at the moment.. try and cancel and get your money back...

zo29

yes

fed up with stupid questions

Thailand is a very safe country, as a tourist you will not have a problem, in fact, at this stage they will bend over backwards to make you feel welcome. they are one of the few countries in asia which has a recognized and efficient tourist police force. have no fear, you will not even notice that there has been a change of anything. i live in the philippines, which i consider the safest place in the world right now, so if you have a problem, just come here and ask for tequila mike in most bars or places where people sail yachts!!!!

barton_richard

Yes you should. I am in Bangkok now and things are back to normal following the coup. There are soldiers around but they are keeping a low profile. There are also many tourists on the streets going about there daily business.

Michelle O

that depends....if you plan on starting a blood-filled coup and wrecking mass havoc, effectively shutting down the Chatuchak Weekend market so that other tourists can't buy cheap durian and who have no idea that a coup has just taken place, then by all means, DON'T GO!!! Otherwise, its safe to proceed.

Wise man say: don't offend others by eating durian in small non-ventilated places!

pimpa1949

I am in Thailand and see local are still smiling and laughing. Is this selfexplatory?

Laural

Depends!! Who paid for you to go?? What do you have to do?? Smuggle drugs?? Have sex with a 90 yr old woman?? In other words...how in the hell would we know??

young_friend

If I were you, I wouldn't considering the present state of political unrest and the military coup there. Postpone for a while and if that costs you some cancellation charges, its better than losing a limb or even worse, losing your life in 'poltical crossfire' eh??
