US security alert for thailand

Security alert (US military):

Advisory
Thailand September 02, 2008 15:49 GMT

Authorities Close Hat Yai Airport; Protesters Continue to Occupy
Government House in Bangkok; Industrial Action to Affect Thai Airways
International Flights All flights to and from Hat Yai International
Airport (HYD), approximately six miles (9km) from the city of Hat Yai
city on 2 September were suspended from 13.00 (local time) after
supporters of the opposition People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD)
blocked the airport entrance gates. The decision to suspend flights
will affect services to the capital Bangkok.

Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK), approximately 22 miles
(35km) from central Bangkok remains open and there have been no
reports of flight delays or cancellations. Security measures at BKK
have been reinforced. Normal operations are also continuing at Phuket
International Airport (HKT). Earlier in the day, PAD supporters
blocked entrances to Surat Thani airport in southern Thailand;
security has been increased to prevent protesters from blocking the
runway.

Media reports on 2 September stated that more than 300 PAD activists
had gathered outside the Phuket Provincial Hall, prompting the civic
authorities to order heightened security measures around the building.
The demonstration has so far been peaceful.

The Confederation of State Enterprise Labour Union, which includes the
Thai Airways Union, the Metropolitan Electricity Authority, the
Provincial Electricity Authority and the Bangkok Mass Transit
Authority are scheduled to begin a strike from 09:00 on 3 September.
The industrial action is expected to affect Thai Airways International
flights and disrupt supplies of essential utilities such as water and
power in a number of Thai provinces. Governmental telecommunications
are also likely to be affected.

The commander-in-chief of the army has stated that the emergency
committee would not block protesters arriving in Bangkok from other
provinces. Furthermore, the military has claimed that it may impose
restrictions on two television channels — ASTV, which is owned by a
PAD leader, and NBT, for allegedly biased reporting. International SOS
Comment The violent clashes between government supporters and PAD
activists at Government House prompted the declaration of emergency in
the capital earlier on 2 September. PAD supporters remain at
Government House, which the opposition group has occupied since 26
August, stating that they will not vacate the compound until Prime
Minister Samak Sundaravej resigns. However, the potential for violent
incidents has reduced following the declaration of emergency.

There are no indications that a coup is imminent. However, the
situation remains fluid and may change rapidly. Though the protests
are mostly concentrated in the vicinity of Government House, there
have so far been no indications of major travel disruption or road
closures in Bangkok.

Areas around government buildings, military installations and major
roads remain highly sensitive, especially Government House and
Makkawan Rangsan Bridge. The threat of bomb attacks against government
and military personnel also remains credible following a minor
explosion targeting a police post in Bangkok on 1 September.

There is a high possibility of further violence if the government
attempts to evict PAD supporters from the protest sites, including
Government House and Sanam Luang. The situation may further
deteriorate if the PAD continues its protests, defying the imposition
of emergency rule. Members should also be aware of the likelihood of
additional clashes between PAD activists and government supporters.
Such confrontations may also occur in areas outside Bangkok. The
situation in the country is likely to remain uncertain for the next 12
to 24 hours; groups with political motivation, including those
operating in southern Thailand, may also exploit the unpredictable
political situation to further destabilise the government. While
foreigners are unlikely to be targeted during protests, they face the
risk of exposure to incidental violence. 1. Travel to Thailand can
proceed, but personnel should be prepared for possible travel
disruption.

2. Personnel visiting the country should contact the relevant airline
to enquire about the status of their flight and be prepared to make
changes to their itinerary.

3. In-country personnel should avoid all government buildings and
areas where there is a large congregation of security personnel or
protesters.
