The local school(s) was (were) closed today.

 

I made a run on the scooter to the Pat Pong area in the early afternoon (1 PM) and the traffic was about normal, maybe a bit lighter.

 

Pretty much same-o, same-o. The baht stayed about the same, so looks to be no big panic on the financial horizon.

More countries issue travel warnings against Thailand visit

 

Singapore, China, Taiwan, New Zealand, Switzerland, France and Denmark have joined the group of countries who have issued travel warnings against travelling into Thailand.

 

Great news for standby passengers from CPH. :thumbup:

The German embassy does not give a travel warning.

 

It's homepage says that the daily life is not affected ('effected' for some :smirk:).

 

But they caution

- to avoid the goverment area

- to avoid any demonstrations

 

The embassy warns

- there could be bomb attacks

- more checkpoints by military and police

- potential power and water cuts

- potential disruption of public transport including flights

 

I think especially the disruption of public transport will put tourists off.
