The Thai Embassy in France has recommended that Thais avoid visiting Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris and nearby areas after the cathedral suffered a massive fire on Monday evening Paris time.

 

In its Facebook page, the embassy also warned that travelling to Ile de la Cité, the island hosting the iconic historical 800-year-old cathedral, should also be avoided.

 

There are no early reports of Thais having been affected by the blaze at the Cathedral, whose central spire and much of the roof has collapsed.

 

The Embassy also provided emergency telephone numbers; +33646719694 and +33603599705.

Surely a photo op for officialdom to Point, Pose and Posture. (The Three Ps).

Better just teach not to enter burning buildings ????

Is Paris Burning ?! (c)

 

Between the terror attacks that often have occured, the current and regular week end riots of the yellow vests and now this cultural disaster...Paris tourism numbers will start to drop and catch up with their Thai counterparts ? ?

How come you aren't saying Thais are guests in that country and should mind their own business...? Just saying, like...

Perhaps because the context is not the same ? ????????

(p.s. let's not get rancorous here due to my previous posts please).

Very sensible warning.

They should have added 'don't try to penetrate the police and firemen cordon, it could be detrimental to your health'.

Instead come back to Chiang Mai and take some deep breaths.
