THE TOURISM Sector is going on high alert and setting up "Tourist Friends Centres" in key locations across Bangkok ahead of |possible chaos on Monday as anti-government protesters try to bring the capital to a halt.
Centres will be located in the Huamark area as well as at Don Mueang and Suvarnabhumi airports. There will also be booths set up at BTS and MRT stations including Phaya Thai, Ekkamai and Hua Lamphong. Similar services will also be offered at three hotels: Imperial Queen Park, Twin Towers, and one in the Sathorn area.
Foreign tourists will be advised to avoid the capital when they arrive...

Advise what if I arrived in Bangkok and my hotel in Bangkok is booked? A bit too late right?
My advice to those who have already booked their tickets during the election period (2 Feb to 9 Feb) is to see whats going to happen this coming Monday 13 Jan when The Mouth from the South aka Suthep does his Bangkok Shutdown street party. If have coup or big trouble then detour to Patts so dun book hotel first.
Army chief also roti prata so maybe have coup or not we dunno "government will be held responsible for any violence"... KNN last 2 times protesters and police met have people get killed. Suthep knows sure have violence and is forcing YL's hand so WTF kong si mi lan?
If you happen to be in Bangkok this Monday (13 Jan) then better get ready cooped up in hotel coz we dunno how long Suthep's gonna to keep Bangkok shutdown.
This time they are gonna close junction of Ladphrao/Phahon Yothin, Rachada and Victory Monument. Indirectly this will affect Sutthisan (Saphan Kwai local AGG land), Phetchburi and Rachada (soapy massage lands). Of course the usual Silom, Asoke & Rachaprarop etc... junctions will close which means Nana, Soi Cowboy and Patpong also get hit.
Troublesome but I see it as a good time to start exploring Srinakarin, upper Ladphrao and Kaset-Nawamin chiong areas leaw!
