Don't worry about Thailand,nothing to worry about for this country...it is the safe country to visit,I beleive in this country....
Just enjoy your nice trip.....!!!

It`s probably worth noting that a trip to Thailand`s north areas will not place the traveler in the same type of Western tourist crowds as Phuket and the over utilized island beaches. It is hard to conceive a threat in the north.

While I`m at it I might as well add that any sex tourist is in far greater risk than the odd bombing. Aids is still considered a death sentence. The more attractive the professional partner, the more likely he/she is positive.
On the bright side, if you bring your own monogamous partner, Thailand is a romantic setting for great sex.

It is also worth noting that the abusive, despoiling type of Western tourism is a part of the cause of the angry over-reactions of the extremists on the terrorist side.....

Yeah I just read all these articles this morning as well. I was not considering canceling my trip at all and kept telling my roommate that the threats were for Indonesia not SE Asia but now that has changed. I find myself doubting as well.

I am waiting to hear if the US post any kind of warning.

When I ask people for opinions anyone who is a world traveling tells me we will be fine but than the people who have never left the US are panicing for us.

Would like to hear new opinions due to recent articles from this weekend.

They are throwing these warnings around all over the place now. Seems to me they were caught unaware and now look like they want to kind of cover themselves. I also saw what others did that when Australians questioned further about these warnings 'vagueness' was an under statement, to go as far as saying they actually did not have any specific information. Look what just happened in Moscow, and see what happened in Amman Jordan today.

It is hard to know what to make of these warnings. Given the accuracy with which they have been able to predict terrorist attacks (near zero, as far as i can tell), it looks like this is a "general caution" type warning.

No place is "safe" these days. The question is whether travel to a particular place involves a special risk. For me, the warnings about Phuket have not yet reached the threshhold, but everyone's threshhold is different.

I'm headed for Thailand and Laos at the end of November, and have not yet seen anything to make me change my plans. I am not going to Phuket, however.

I'm getting nervous about my visit in January to Singapore and Thailand. Today (10/28) the New York Times headline: SOUTHEAST ASIA REMAINS FERTILE FOR AL QAEDA. I'm getting very uncomfortable about going on my trip.

I agree with Kathie. There are always warnings 'after the event'. What happened at the Moscow theatre was horrific, it seems to be approached by the media and governments in a totally different manner to Bali. I've not seen 1 bulletin about warning people about Moscow suddenly appear. Confusing.

You're at as much risk in the US as you are in SEAsia. In fact here in Thailand we dont have snipers, drive by shootings and serial killers.

I was in Vietnam and Thailand (Koh Samui and Bangkok) when the Bali blast occurred, so I read the Thai newspapers every day about tourist safety. I felt fine.

There's concern every where you go, but remember that Indonesia has been a breeding ground for militant Islamic extremists (whose presence Megawati consistently denied until the Bali bombing) while Thailand is 95% Buddhist. Someone's going to have to try awfully hard to commit a terrorist act in Thailand. It's always a possibility, for sure, but I wouldn't be too scared.

Just stay off the beaten track... a handful of tourists in one area is not going to be a target... but a club in Phuket full of western tourists might not be your best choice.

I live in Malaysia - locals have warned us to stay away from places teeming with foreigners/non-Muslims (like Genting - which is a casino so there aren't Muslims there much), Langkawi, Penang, Petronas in KL. But that's common sense, isn't it? I feel perfectly safe.

there just passed some breaking news on CNN that Canada has warned against some travel too the US...

Yep at least that one makes sence.. travel warnings never did make much sence the US just reasently placed travel warning on ISREAL.. it gets into polotics sometimes...
