Gov't issues Thailand travel advice
*

The Security Bureau reminds people planning a trip to Thailand to monitor developments there and consider adjusting or postponing their travel plans.

 

Travellers should watch their personal safety and avoid large gatherings or demonstrations.

 

Anyone needing assistance in Thailand can contact the Hong Kong Immigration Department's 24-hour hotline (852) 1868, or the local Chinese Embassy on (66) 818214771 or (66) 819840658.

 

There were no requests for assistance in the past two days. All 29 requests received since August 30 have been resolved.

 

Bangkok is generally calm except for some areas mainly near Government House after the declaration of a state of emergency.

 

The Hong Kong Government will continue monitoring the situation. The bureau will consider the risks to Hong Kong residents' personal safety in deciding whether or not to issue a travel warning.
