MANILA – Malacañang warned Filipinos yesterday against traveling to Thailand after violent clashes between troops and protesters in the capital.

“In view of Thailand’s declaration of a state of emergency in Bangkok and the surrounding provinces, it is urged that non-essential and non-urgent travels to Thailand be postponed until the current political tensions subside,” the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said in an advisory.

Filipinos already in Thailand were urged “to take precautions and to avoid public places where rallies could take place.”

Philippine Ambassador to Thailand Antonio Rodriguez said no Filipino had been hurt in the anti-government protests that led to the cancellation of an Asian summit in the Thai resort town of Pattaya.

President Arroyo was among the many Asian leaders who had to be evacuated from the site by helicopter.

We should be forewarned. The situation in Thailand is not easy to handle. They have always been into this kind of situation. Yet, they still do not know what to do.

We should listen to what the government tells us. Otherwise, we would really be in a very compromising situation. If one should really be there for one reason or another, don't blame the government if something bad happens to you. The government has done its job.

The whole world knows that it's quite unsafe in Thailand right now because of too much chaos and violence in said country. It's better to take the advise of the authorities as regards traveling to Thailand at this time. Compared to the Philippines nowadays, Thailand is far more chaotic. But of course in the 80's the Philippines had its own share of such chaotic situations. Other countries issue their travel warnings to their citizens whenever kidnapping incidents occur in Mindanao. This time, it's the Philippines that cautions Pinoys to travel to Thailand. It's just all about securing the safety of our people.
