Tourism officials in Thailand have insisted that the country remains safe for all peregrine visitors, and that all major tourist magnetizations and infrastructure are operating as mundane, despite the military declaring martial law.
The nation's political situation has become scarcely troubling in recent times, with the country's future thrown into doubt following the abstraction of caretaker prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra earlier this month. However, Thailand's military chief insists that the implementation of martial law is not tantamount to a coup, but is simply intended to avail keep the tranquility.
Anyone orchestrating on visiting the country is therefore being reassured by the Thai Tourist Board that there is no reason to abrogate their peregrination, with a spokesperson claiming: "The implementation of martial law has had no effect on convey and tourism magnetizations across the country.
"All public convey and tourist magnetizations, including airports, tourist sites and shopping malls, are currently open and operating as mundane."
What's more, officials have been keen to stress that no curfew has been imposed either in Bangkok - where the bulk of the political protests have been taking place - or elsewhere in Thailand.
The Peregrine and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has not advised against peregrinate to Thailand, albeit it is urging Brits to pay close attention to any further developments and to eschew the main protest sites in Bangkok.
Those who do peregrinate to the country in the coming weeks should not be surprised to find soldiers on most street corners - particularly in the capital. However, many of Thailand's quieter areas, such as the tourist hotspots of Koh Samui, Koh Phi Phi and Phuket, are liable to feature a more discreet military presence.
The FCO has, however, described the situation as "evolving", so all tourists are being asked to pay close attention to the media in order to remain abreast of the latest political developments as they occur.
