Warning
The U.S. Embassy
Bangkok released the following Warden Message on October 29, 2008:
This warden message is being issued to
alert U.S. Citizens
traveling to and residing in Thailand
that media reports indicate the Peoples
Alliance
for Democracy (PAD) will hold a rally tomorrow, Thursday, October 30, 2008
at Siam Paragon shopping center beginning at 10:00 a.m.
It is expected that the rally will move down
Sukhumvit Road to the British Embassy where the
demonstrators will congregate. At this time, it is not
clear if the demonstrators plan to proceed onto
Wireless Road. The
demonstration is expected to last until 2:00 p.m. We ask
Americans to exercise caution if you are going to be in this vicinity or in
the area of any demonstrations.
We wish to remind American citizens that
even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and
possibly escalate into violence. American citizens are therefore urged to
avoid the areas of demonstrations if possible, and to exercise caution if
within the vicinity of any demonstrations.

The Bureau of Consular Affairs
released the following Public Announcement on January 1, 2007:
This Public Announcement is being issued to alert U.S. Citizens traveling to
and residing in Thailand of a series of bombs that exploded in the Bangkok
metropolitan area during the evening of December 31, 2006, and shortly after
midnight on January 1, 2007. This Public Announcement expires January 31,
2007.
At approximately 1800 hours on December 31, 2006, bombs exploded at five
different locations throughout Bangkok, including Bangkok's Victory
Monument, various police traffic control booths, and in the parking lot of a
shopping mall. These bombs killed three Thai citizens and injured over two
dozen additional Thai citizens.

Shortly after midnight on
January 1, 2007, two additional bombs exploded near the World Trade Center
shopping mall on Rama 1 Road in Bangkok's main shopping district. One bomb
exploded near a pedestrian footbridge and the second in a beer garden.
Bangkok's largest New Year's celebration, the "Bangkok Countdown," was to be
held at this location, but had been cancelled by local authorities after the
bombings earlier that evening. Six foreign tourists and an unknown number of
Thai citizens were injured in these bombings.
The U.S. Embassy has confirmed that no Americans were injured or killed in
any of the bombings. Additionally, the bombings appear to be limited to the
Bangkok area. No incidents have been reported in any cities outside of
Bangkok, including Chiang Mai and the popular beach resorts in Thailand.
Given the fluidity of the current situation, the Department of State advises
all American Citizens residing in or traveling to Bangkok to continue to
monitor events closely, to remain indoors when possible, to avoid any large
public gatherings, and to exercise discretion when moving about Bangkok.
