bkkjames Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 What's the basis of this new advisory? Do they know something we don't? Do not travel to affected areas - what areas are those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lectito Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 The travel warning is at smartraveller.gov.au/zw-cgi/view/Advice/Thailand . At the height of the riots (when the embassy was closed to the public) the level was "Do Not Travel". Shortly after it was downgraded to "Reconsider Your Need to Travel". It has just been downgraded further to "High Degree of Caution". The ABC is spinning that as "Travel Warning Issued for Thailand". The only areas now listed as "Do Not Travel" are Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat and Songkhla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
