Thailand on 'most dangerous' list for travelers

Bangkok Post

Thailand has made the list of the Top 20 Most Dangerous Places as compiled by the Telegraph newspaper of London.

The latest edition of the list puts Thailand as the seventh most-dangerous spot for travellers behind Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya, South Africa, Somalia and Sudan. Thailand is said to be more dangerous than Colombia and Haiti at the moment.

It justifies the Thai spot on the list because of "major political demonstrations and a temporary state of emergency" at the two Bangkok airports.

It also cites the continuing demonstrations around Government House, the Cambodian-Thai fighting on the border, and "civil unrest and frequent attacks" in the deep South.

The British "Foreign Office advises against all but essential travel to these areas," the newspaper said.

Crush the unruly mob and declare martial law.

Somchai seems to be the real Tais (because of his stronghold in the North) while some of his opponents are Khmer commoners. Look like PAD can do everything. They enjoy the royal support at the beginning, but who know? They could be the one who declare republic of thailand if they win because they have tested all the strength and weakness.
