seanthepilot, I would appreciate your comments on the Australian Foreign Affairs website about travel to Thailand, esp. in relation to
Krabi where I'm booked to go in 6 weeks, and am really keen to go!
Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat and Songkhla - Do not travel.
I presume it was mainly in relation to this:
On 13 October, media reports indicated that leaflets were distributed in Southern Thailand threatening bomb attacks within seven days on hotels in Hat Yai (Songkhla province), Phuket, Krabi, Phang-nga, Sungai Kolok (Narathiwat province), Betong (Yala province) and Satun.
