PM: More countries lift their travel warnings for Thailand

BANGKOK, 7 February 2012 (NNT) - Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said many countries, including the United States, have now lifted their travel warnings for Thailand following a widespread terror scare in Bangkok last month.

After meeting with the chief of the U.S. intelligence unit, Prime Minister Yingluck said that several foreign countries have already canceled their travel advisories on Thailand due to their better understanding of the situation in the Kingdom. She revealed that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is now trying to convince the remaining 7 countries with warnings still in effect to follow suit.

Foreign Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul has expressed his gratitude to the U.S. for terminating the terrorist alert in the Kingdom. He added that the U.S. intelligence unit also agreed to Thailand’s request that consultation be sought first if any warning is to be issued in the future.

During the meeting, the intelligence unit also congratulated Thailand for its improved relationships with Cambodia and Myanmar.
