asians warned against THAI travel

Asian nations urge citizens against Thailand travel
Tue Sep 2, 2008 9:45am IST


SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Thailand's lucrative tourism industry faced a
rash of cancellations after several Asian countries urged their
citizens on Tuesday to avoid travelling there during the current
political crisis.

South Korea and Singapore issued advisories urging citizens to avoid
non-essential travel, while Australia and Taiwan advised nationals to
be extra vigilant.

Thai Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej declared a state of emergency in
Bangkok earlier on Tuesday, giving the army control of public order
after a man died in overnight clashes between pro- and anti-government
protesters.

Under the sweeping emergency powers announced on television and radio,
all public gatherings in the capital are banned and restrictions
imposed on media reports that "undermined public security".

Although the deployment of troops will come as welcome relief to the
overstretched police -- who have been dealing with anti-government
protests for over three months -- it raises the spectre of an army
seizure of power less than two years after the military kicked out
then Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

Samak later told a news conference the emergency action would not last
more than a few days.

POPULAR WITH TOURISTS

"If Singaporeans do not have a pressing need to travel to Bangkok,
they are advised to postpone the travel to a later date," the
Singapore ministry of foreign affairs said in a statement.

"We ask those who plan trips to Thailand to please avoid travel there
until the situation stabilises," South Korea's foreign ministry said
from Seoul.

The Australian government left its overall warning unchanged but urged
travellers to take extra care.

"Travellers should exercise a high degree of vigilance at this time
because of the political unrest," the travel advisory from Australia's
Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said.

"There have been instances of violence including one reported death
and several injuries. Further violence cannot be ruled out.

"You should avoid demonstrations, political rallies and concentrations
of military personnel and follow any instructions issued by local
authorities."

China's Foreign Ministry has not yet issued any travel warning to the
many Chinese tourists who visit Thailand, but on Monday the Ministry
issued a notice on its website (www.fmprc.gov.cn) noting that the
protests and threatened airport closures "may create transport
difficulties".

"The Foreign Ministry suggests that Chinese citizens and groups
travelling to Thailand pay attention to the situation and accordingly
adjust their itinerary," it said.

Dear All,

The above quote IS extremely worrying for people who have any upcoming
plans to travel to LOS in my opinion. Do the regular posters living in
Thailand feel safe at the moment, and do you think it will be safe to
arrive there and walk around freely?....I am a gentleman in my sixties
and am not up for any type of conflict etc.

Kind Regards,

Brian, if you hang about at various embassies for a while you will
find that all embassy statements always err on the side of
conservationism.

No government wants to tell the citizenry to "go ahead and go" only to
discover that they got shot. Thus the usual notices from all the
various embassies.

Actually it's a good thing. I flew into Suvarnabhumi Wednesday and
there were no lines at Immigration.

Bangkok is as safe as any other city. Don't go near the demonstrations
and you won't even know there's a problem.

******What news of the GoGo Bars Tchiowa?????
It's always good to have information from "experts" in the field.

The protesters should be arrested and put behind bars for underming a
legitimate democracy. Feed them with chocolate bars for breakfast, lunch and
dinner everyday.
