Is Bangkok Safe?
Tomorrow (13 March 2010) is the start of the one week school holidays in Singapore. Thailand is one of the top travel destinations for Singaporeans looking for a short vacation and Bangkok is a favourite shopping mecca. But this weekend also coincides with a mass (really massive) rally by red shirts in Bangkok. So is it safe to travel to Bangkok?
No one can say for sure. Bangkok is a big city and you’ll be safer if you avoid the rally areas. But definitely, there will be inconveniences with road closures. Tourists will also have to hope that there will not be any repeat of the shutdown of the airport. The red shirts have said that it is one of their options.
So, travel at your own risk but take care of yourselves. Paknam Web has produced a Google Map that will be updated live over the weekend of the expected Red Shirt Rally in Bangkok – 11th-14th March 2010. Use it to avoid the areas where potential violence can break out.
