Warning Travel: Thailand
For those who are planning to go to Thailand, please reconsider your choice and travel to other safer country. There has been a riot lately in Thailand. Appearantly the military took over the capital city of Thailand, Bangkok, from the current Prime Minister.
According to smarttraveller, travellers need to avoid going to the southern provinces of Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat and Songkhla or overland to and from the Malaysian border through these provinces, due to high levels of ongoing violence in these regions, including terrorist attacks.
On 16 September 2006 there were coordinated bomb attacks in the commercial centre in the southern city of Hat Yai, Songkhla Province, killing five and injuring more than sixty people, including a number of foreigners.
The situation in Thailand is still in chaos at the moment, so be aware of this condition and try to cancel your booking if you already have one.
