Yes. The military leader actually said to the people, "Sorry for the inconvenience." I've been to Thailand many times, and they are the kindest and nicest people in the world. Their well being depends on your tourist dollars, so please go, and have a GREAT time. I'M JEALOUS!!! |

Yes, the US state department issued a concern, but not a warinng. The King of Thailand is a decent man, and there is stability ni the country with him in charge. Also, I heard a report on NPR that on the beaches, they are offering coup cocktails for half price. Enjoy! |

yes ! My friends there say the coup is accepted by the majority of Thais and there are no demonstrations in the streets. After one day off, all schools and businesses are up and running and the streets are full of everyday life activities. The military general Sondhi who led the coup has met with the King about about a provisional leadre until elections can be held next year. I'm going there in December. |

Go!! The coup while seeming a bit scary is not at all. The army is there to get the prime minister out, and he already resigned. I've been calling it a peaceful military coup, and thats exactly what it is. There has been no bloodshed and the people are welcoming the coup with open arms. Thailand is such an amazing country and if you don't feel safe in Bangkok (which is where the military is) you can go to Northern Thailand or down to the islands. Have an amazing trip and thank the soilders for me! |

I live here but outside of Bkk - I want to go to Bkk so that I can present the soldiers with water and flowers - - everyone loves and respects the army here..
Yes - - you are safe !!! It is rare that anyone gets hurt in a coup here.. but this seems already resolved.. I would feel in more danger in most major Western cities than I ever do here in Thailand... - you may not want to go home- - Come, smile and enjoy yourself.. |

Absolutely. I have just come back and was there when the coup broke out. It is fine to travel there and the streets are perfectly safe and everything is open as usual. There was absolutely no disruption or threat at all. Not sure where the media got their footage from! |

It's business as usual in Thailand after a bloodless coup. Be on the lookout for unprotected sex, though; Thailand has a half million aids sufferers living there. |

Absolutely safe.
You'll have a wonderful time.
The coup has not made much difference to anything except politics, which don't affest tourists in any way.
I lived there for ten years, and can vouch fior the fact that it's a great choice for a wonderful holiday. |

Warnings over Thailand travel
POSTED: 0638 GMT (1438 HKT), September 20, 2006

BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) -- The United States has urged Americans to reconsider any travel to Thailand while Britain told its citizens living there to stay in their homes, after the Thai military toppled the country's prime minister in a coup.
Japan and Australia advised citizens to be extremely careful in the Thai capital, where tanks surrounded government offices, and to avoid political rallies or concentrations of military personnel.
"In light of the very uncertain political situation and apparent military-led takeover of the government, we strongly advise Australians to reconsider their need to travel to Thailand until the situation is clarified," the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said.
It asked those already in the capital to stay at home, and monitor the media.
The U.S. Embassy, in an e-mail to its citizens living in Thailand, said that while there had been no reports of violence in the overnight coup, Americans should "monitor the situation closely, avoid any large gatherings and exercise discretion when moving about the city."
"At this point, we are not advising Americans to leave Thailand; however, Americans planning to travel to Thailand may wish to carefully consider their options before traveling until the situation becomes clearer."
Britain's Foreign Office, in a notice on its Web site, warned that movement in the capital may be curtailed due to the imposition of martial law that came as Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra was in New York attending the U.N General Assembly.
Japan and Singapore issued similar notices through their Foreign Ministries that urged nationals to remain in "safe" locations in the capital and avoid places of potential disturbances, such as the palace and government buildings.
South Korea advised its citizens against visiting Thailand, saying the situation remains "volatile."
New Zealand also warned its citizens in Thailand to be careful when moving around the city.
"Don't go sightseeing around government buildings. If a curfew is imposed -- and there is talk of a curfew -- then it should be respected," Ambassador Brook Barrington told Radio New Zealand in Wellington.
The New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it was assessing whether to change its advisory for Thailand.
