Coup? What Coup?


A New York Times article in the Travel section cites the coup in Thailand does not affect tourism.

With travelers confused about traveling during such a time of transition, many turn to the Internet where forums were filled with advice from folks all across the globe. The coup seems to have had no affect on travel in Thailand as many Thais go about in their busy lives. The new prime minister is in office, and so are his cabinet members. They will be there for a period of one year until a new constitution may be drafted.

Looks like we'll still be going.

Is It Safe To Travel to Thailand?

A letter from my father from a few weeks ago:

Dear Eddie
SURE it is safe to travel to Thailand. They do not bother tourists. Do not worry about it. This will pass within 2-3 weeks.
Thasin has already stepped down.
