Malaysia and Slovakia both issued travel advisories, yesterday, warning citizens against travel to Thailand. There are now travel advisories from 37 nations, according to the Tourism Authority of Thailand marketing communications deputy governor, Prakit Piriyakiat.
This is probably the highest number of warnings since yellow shirt protesters closed the city’s airports in late 2008.

Tourism Authority of Thailand’s News Desk issued an updated fact sheet, this morning, on political rallies that start Friday 12 March and are expected to continue throughout the weekend.

Based on the TAT assessment, it would appear that tourists visiting Thailand, 12 to 14 March, should travel up-country and enjoy the beaches of Pattaya, Samui, Phuket, golf courses and the peace and quiet of northern towns. Once the dust settles in Bangkok early next week they could resume their itinerary.
