DON'T WORRY ABOUT TRAVEL TO THAILAND

Is it safe to come to Thailand? Are the streets full of protesters? Should I cancel my trip to Thailand? Should I look going elsewhere this year because of the trouble in Bangkok?
Those are some of the questions in the minds of people around the world who are looking at coming to Thailand or Bangkok for work or pleasure. To give an accurate picture I will use a statement from The Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) about the situation:

Bangkok International Airport is (and has always been) operating normally. Services have resumed as normal at Phuket and Hat Yai airports.

Major surface routes between Bangkok and other parts of Thailand are unaffected, although there may be disruptions to rail services to some provinces.

Bangkok's city taxi and rail services are unaffected.

All hotels and resorts in Bangkok and throughout Thailand are open for business as usual.

All tourist attractions, shopping centres, markets, restaurants and clubs are operating normally in Bangkok and throughout the Kingdom.

Many of Thailand's prospective visitors are understandably reluctant to travel when they hear about a state of emergency being declared and see images of violent clashes in media reports," said PATA President and CEO Peter de Jong. "The reality, however, is that life is continuing as normal in Bangkok and Thailand and that, as of today, there is minimal threat to the safety of visitors to the Kingdom."
