Foreign Office lifts Thailand travel ban
The Foreign Office has downgraded its travel advice for Thailand and now no longer advises against all but essential travel to the whole of the county.
Travel to the country was discouraged after anti-government Red Shirt protestors and security forces clashed in late April leaving 25 dead and many injured. Days later, clashes between troops and protestors close to Bangkok’s second airport Don Muang left a soldier dead and ten injured.
The FCO still advises against travellers spending time in Bangkok but says it is acceptable to travel into the capital’s airport and then onwards to a safer destination within the country.
