Have purchased a tour to Pattaya for May, but very worried news from Bangkok. Should I give up rest in the light of recent events?
Answer Nikolay Pavlov
If you take on the ungrateful business of drawing up long-term political forecasts about the confrontation of the "reds" and "yellows" in Bangkok and suggest that the Thai political crisis will take a protracted form and until May 2010 will not resolve, the only inconvenience that tourists coming to Bangkok may encounter is a couple of traffic jams and several closed shopping centers . However, these undoubtedly noticeable but not fatal inconveniences are easily compensated for by rest in Pattaya, where in In fact, you are traveling and where people learn about political unrest in the country mainly from newspapers .
I would advise you not to deprive yourself of the pleasure to go to Pattaya in May, especially since I personally believe that until May in Thailand, all "udakanitsya." However, if in the speeches of the supporters of the former Thai prime minister you still see incompatible with the comfortable rest of the phenomenon of Thai political nature, you can disregard my advice and make a decision yourself.
