Hong Kong downgrades travel warning for Thailand as terror threat diminishes in wake of Bangkok bombing

HONG KONG: -- The Hong Kong government on Tuesday downgraded the red travel warning to Thailand to an amber alert, as the threat of terrorism dissipated six weeks after the deadly Erawan shrine bombing in Bangkok.

The Security Bureau issued the red outbound travel alert for Thailand – which advised travellers to “avoid non-essential travel” – because of “significant threat” a day after a bomb attack targeted one of the city's busiest tourist attractions, on August 17.

Two Hong Kong residents were killed and six others injured in the terror attack, which claimed 21 lives and injured 120 others.
