hmmm yeah i just looked on google news, the statement was made an hour ago by their prime minister. its a been a bit shaky for a few days, about 3 days ago the airport in Phuket was raided and no planes were able to take off.lol.

a friend of mine is there now, he said its fine, so long as you stay away from the actual protests.
