Is it OK to travel to Thailand recently?

If not tagging in style issues with these colours, you are totally fine to wear these as a farang

Just don't wear a Red or Yellow shirt and you'll be fine.

Interesting article about the shirts....

If in doubt, wear pink or purple.

Even last time when it got REALLY bad and the airports were shut, the rest of the city was fine. There really are very few protesters and they are always concentrated in one particular area. Their anger is not with tourists, so there really is little to worry about.

I agree, you should not hesitate about traveling to Thailand at all. The Similans are absolutely fantastic. When are you planning to go?

My spearo buddy just got back from a 3 week trip there and had no problems.

You should be just fine! We've noticed more are travelling direct to Krabi or Phuket and avoiding Bangkok anyway.

I'm 150 miles from Bangkok, and have just come back up from the South.
No problems here or down there.

Just be sensible, you'll have no problems.

When are you going? Make sure you avoid the monsoon season to ensure the best diving experience. Water can be very murcky over the rainy season.

You can find great diving off Phuket all year round - some of the best visibility on daytrips to Racha Yai and Racha Noi can be seen during the Green Season - June to September.

Its less crowded and hotel prices are a lot cheaper during the Green Season.

So, come anytime....

Just to add.....both the Yellow and the Red shirts actually LOVE the tourists.

Just to add my observations also. Just spent a week in Koh Tao after a week in Bangkok. Had no problems, we even ran into a Red Shirt Ralley on Sukamavit and just detoured around it. Headed back to Bangkok right now and I'm not worried. Will be headed to Koh Chang next week to try out the diving.
