Is it safe to travel to Thailand

2 reasons why it is again safe to travel to Thailand:

• the US State Department has already stopped their travel advisory for Thailand


• after any unrest or curfew has been lifted in Thailand, it's always amazing how fast Thai people return to their well known smiling and peaceful life.

If you still are not convinced, then do know that the recent unrest between the yellow-shirts PAD and the red-shirts UDD was only concentrated in a few areas in Bangkok. It has been safe all the time to travel to other Thai destinations like Phuket or Chiang Mai. Unlike the previous time: no airports were part of the unrest and all flights are running normally at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport.

Thailand has always been a destination for budget holidays, where backpackers can find cheap accommodation for next to nothing. One man's loss is another man's treasure: the unrest in Bangkok caused such an unseen drop in foreign visitors to Thailand that traveling to Thailand has become cheaper than ever. Thailand's hotels and resorts are in a price war and cheap all inclusive holidays are a plenty. Also note cheap air fares: the Thai Airways' Discover Thailand pass only costs $278 and lets you fly to any 3 cities within Thailand.

For Americans, Thailand is even more inviting than ever: the Thai Tourist Authority from now onwards waives all fees and any visa requirements for all American travelers who wishing to stay in Thailand beyond the normally 30 days.

Is it safe to walk on the beaches of Thailand?

The only time Thailand could become not safe is when you are walking on the beach at Koh Samui and some hungry Thailand monkey wants to snatch some fruits out of your hands. Other than that, traveling to Thailand is as safe as ever but cheaper than ever!

Cheap flights to Bangkok

Today is the last day to book cheap flights to Bangkok from Kuala Lumpur for less than $20 dollar.

Air Asia is having a promotion offering 10.000 cheap flights to Thailand, calling it free flights to Bangkok. Of course in typical Air Asia style, free means that you still have to pay for tax, fees and the irritating "convenience fee" when you pay by credit or debit card. I mean, who books his tickets online, pays the ticket with his credit card and needs to pay a penalty for that? Welcome to Air Asia :-)

Do hurry: you need to book your cheap flight before the first of June, which is tomorrow. you have to depart to Bangkok between the 7th of June and the 31st of August this year. And of course, you need to book your own return flight.

However, this is a very cheap and convenient way of flying out of Malaysia, into Thailand and booking cheap flights to other South East Asian departing from Bangkok. Apart from bathing suits, do bring lots of sunscreen - more important than packing shampoo! - as the sun just feels hotter and hotter these days.
