THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: Australians travelling to Thailand have been warned that terrorists may be planning attacks against tourists and other places frequented by foreigners.
Authorities have advised tourists not to travel to the southern provinces of Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat and Songkhla or overland to and from the Malaysian border.
Danger exists from ongoing violence in those regions, including terrorist attacks and bombings resulting in deaths and injuries on an almost daily basis, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said in an updated travel advisory.
Australian travellers have also been warned to exercise a high degree of caution in the rest of Thailand, including in the capital, Bangkok.
"We advise you to exercise a high degree of caution because of the uncertain political situation and high threat of terrorist attack," the advice says.
Tourists should pay close attention to their personal security at all times and monitor the media for information about possible new safety or security risks. >>> | November 26, 2008
