Yes let's go guys. There is no army or curfew in Phuket or Pattaya. We may enjoy cheap price while others are scared. Revenue from tourism industry occupies large percentage in Thailand's GDP and large Thais population live on tourists. I guess they will come up with some strategy to get tourists back. Imagine what might happen if hundred thousand people are unemployed due to the stop of tourist flow to this beautiful country. It is gonna be worst than the presence of army in the street.
An important tip for those who are planning a trip to Thailand: you are gonna enjoy interesting exchange rate (THB/USD, THB/EUR) due to this chaotic situation.
Yea, I think now is indeed a unique time to visit Bangkok. See how the military rule is like. However, you are putting your safety at risk. But who knows, it might be safer now if crime rates manage to decrease due to the military preserving the peace.
Agreed. No matter how pacific Thais people are, or real situation in Bangkok is, or how much lower crime rate in Thailand is in comparison with one in US, I could not find any reason to visit that country during this time.
Vacation is vacation, where people go to relax and refresh. If I search for an adventure, I would go to Columbia for rock climbing, but not jumping into a war.
For you guys who love tropical beaches, Maldives is close by Thailand.
