Is the state of emergency in Thailand likely to disrupt holidays there? I am booked for the 25th of this month. If this needs to be cancelled due to hostilities, where does that leave those booked?

Hello Julia

The Just You website is displaying updates on this subject (it's in a red box on the home page). It says:

'Demonstrations are taking place in central Bangkok. There have been outbreaks of violence between the police and protestors, including some use of tear gas. There is the possibility of further clashes. You should exercise caution, avoiding any demonstrations or large gatherings of people. You should also keep yourself informed of developments, including by regularly checking this advice and the media.

'Further information can be obtained by visiting the Foreign Office website - www.fco.gov.uk

'Reports from Thailand indicate that none of these demonstrations are affecting areas visited by tourists. Our programme of holidays to Thailand continues to operate normally.'

If the situation changes, someone will be in touch to discuss your options, but you shouldn't worry in the meantime.

Hope this helps

Best wishes,

Cheryl, your editor
