Hi,

My girlfriend and I are travelling to Thailand on 3rd of May... With the current political unrest is it safe to travel?

Any advice is appreciated

Thanks

Jamie

Hi Jamie

Obviously no one can say with certainty what might happen, but as far as your personal safety is concerned I personally don’t think you need not worry too much in that respect with regards to the political situation. My concern would be more along the lines of flight disruptions, disruptions to your holiday plans etc if things became more agitated. Try not to worry too much about it, hopefully you won’t be affected and will have a great time.

Cheers,

here here,,just get on with your holiday,at the worst a little delay at airports or main roads,protester disrupted flights last year don't think they will be getting away with it this time

Hi Jamie

I am with the others, dont worry. I think I have only been to Phuket once when there was not some sort of political unrest. I usually effects Bangkok airport more than Phuket, they blocked Phuket airport 2 years ago and it cost the local stores so much in lost tourism I dont think it will happen again.

The aspect of political unrest and safety for foreigners in Thailand has never been a deal. No foreigners have ever been in any kind of danger. The only thing to be advised is to avoid any areas of protest - just the kind of thing you would do in your own country. Use your common sense and you won't have any problems whatsoever. Happy Thailand Travels!

there are so many place and cities and hotels to travel in Thailand.

After the recent events the British government have advised all but necessary and urgent travel to Thailand.....

I travel on May 3rd... What do you guys reckon?

Jamie
I am sure you will get an opinion from those that are there right now. But I am sure they will still say as long as you stay away from the trouble spots in Bangkok you will be fine. I assume you travel through there in transit. You will be fine once in Phuket.
