RP lifts travel warning for Thailand
The Philippines has lifted its warning to Filipinos against traveling to Thailand, saying the peace and order situation in the country’s capital city has improved.
“In view of the improved peace and order situation in Bangkok, Thailand, the Philippine Embassy in Bangkok said Filipino nationals may now undertake travels to Thailand," the Department of Foreign Affairs said in a release posted on its Web site.
“Filipino travelers are advised to still exercise extra caution if traveling to Bangkok or other cities or provinces," the release added.
Red Shirt protesters took to the streets of Bangkok mid-March to demand the resignation of the country’s prime minister, but a subsequent military crackdown resulted in widespread violence leaving at least 83 people dead and more than 1,800 injured. - GMANews.TV
