in May 2010 we were in PTT and Bangkok. Moreover, they were in Bangkok an hour before the assault of the "Red Shirts". There were no problems! and in Pattaya - nothing was heard at all! Don't worry, rest easy!

Hurray for revolutions.
If you pay attention / and I have been using this all the time in recent years / after each mess, their prices drop, hotels give decent discounts, visas become free / it doesn’t matter to citizens of the Russian Federation /.
And it does not reach Pattaya or the islands. The only garbage was when a couple of years ago these "fighters" blocked the international airport in Bangkok and people spent the night at the station. These people are unlucky.

last year there was a curfew in Pattaya for 2 days. But then there really were problems. I closed all tourists by numbers until 21.00. But right now, there are NO prerequisites for this. Everything is quiet. Very calm. Thailand is such a country where even revolutions go smoothly.
But the fact that the king is 83 years old does not solve anything, dear HotLine. A country is not run by a king. Rather, on the contrary, this is the reason for the creation of revolutionary situations, because. the heir to the king will not be able to take his post through inadequate behavior, and the daughter (one of them is worthy of such a title) cannot become king. Here is the dilemma. Plus, the former prime minister, who owns almost half of the property in Thailand, was fired and does not allow everyone to live in peace, pays people money for creating a revolutionary environment, which was observed last year at the end of May.

For those who like to argue. But not able to build a logical chain. And mind you, I didn't start it.
Thailand's political system is a constitutional monarchy. The King has lost absolute power, but he remains the Supreme Commander and he appoints 50% of the deputies of the senate. The family fortune is estimated at 35 billion dollars. More than 3,000 development projects are financed from this source, especially in rural areas (Wikipedia). Over the past 5 years, prime ministers have been appointed twice by order of the king. The country has a pronounced clan and territorial political structure. A bunch of offended and pretenders. Unstable political situation - mass demonstrations of Muslims in the southern provinces of the country, at least until 2004, a coup d'etat in 2006, yellow shirt riots in 2008, red shirt riots in 2009-2010, six prime ministers in the last 5 years, half of them are generals . And then this “great and mighty” oldest monarch in the world will leave? And there is no adequate and legitimate heir.

Be sure - everyone is already preparing and it will not happen so easily. There are several scenarios and the probability of a calm one is minimal. Just imagine how much you need to fix. The fate of the monarch's family, their money and projects, the change of political structure and slogans, automatic elections, martial law will most likely be introduced for this period, someone will pay for some blueshirts, the election of a prime minister in parliament, etc. etc.
So assess the risks in your business.

because of alarmists like you, who read articles and watch TV, but have never been and have not seen the realities, and doubts are sown among tourists. Although the people who live in this country and boil in this mess know and see something completely different. The risk of our business is the presence and number of such people who sow panic, not knowing the realities of what is happening. Come visit me, I will show you the real Thailand and then you will understand how really wrong you were. I invite you. And these are not just words, but a real invitation. It's time for us to get to know each other.

By the way, I’ll add that if you evaluate the risk of living in Ukraine or Russia, then the risk of visiting Thailand, in comparison with these countries, will be reduced to almost zero. This is what you need to start from.

max36 for info. Tourists go to Cambodia every day and come back very satisfied. Yesterday, tourists arrived from Moscow, stuffed with such information and fear for safety. Today they just laugh about it, took the bike and went for a ride. Listen to theory less and trust practice more. And theoretically, brushing your teeth is also very dangerous.

I support Amir1 regarding "unnecessary" panic. His example of Cambodia is very clear.
I myself, as I got there, was initially afraid to move a lot away from the tourist center / I heard enough stories about the Khmer Rouge and heads cut off by palm leaves - in fact, the participants in those events are now about 40 years old /. And when we had already left, we regret that we didn’t walk there properly and didn’t look everywhere where possible.

to Amir1. We already know you. There is no desire to deepen this acquaintance.
As for panicking. I wrote in the first post only one phrase - "The King is 83 years old." And he joined in the further discussion after you formulated - "the fact that the king of 83 years old does not solve anything."
To go to Thailand or not?
Drive. The risks are minor. And events will develop slowly. First, they will bury them long and solemnly.
My friends are going in March. And I'm calm.
Regarding my sources of information. Of course, this is not our hysterical media. I work in the travel industry. For example, my regular tourists returned from Egypt on the last charter to Kyiv on February 12th. And I was absolutely calm.

You have always had problems. Remember? Especially with the last answer. Which indicates inflated self-esteem and inability to find a compromise. And this answer of mine, as always, will be the last one, and I will not fall for your tricks again. Write what you want as the best Thailand expert on this site. Oh, I was mistaken: not in Thailand, but all over the world!!! And others are against you, as always, just nobody. Good luck.

I never had problems with the last answer. Because I have never stated that any of my answers is the last one. I am always open to communication.
You have problems. In particular, with an assessment of the status of the king in Tai and possible plots for the development of events after his death.
And as in our past discussions - with the latest answers. I can throw a link to a branch in which you declare four times that THIS is your answer for sure the last one.
By the way, I did not dispute your status as an expert on Tai.
Let's just say that you know Tai's recreational resources better than I do. It is obvious. You've been living and working there for over a year now. I, for one, am very glad that there is such an expert on this site. I always read your replies with interest. And looked at your site.
But you never learned to be open.

Amir1, you are one of the few experts here who gives adequate, specific and useful advice. Personally, I always enjoy reading your answers, they are really sensible. In general, there are people with whom it is pleasant to communicate, to ask for advice, because you know that you will receive an exhaustive answer on the merits, but there are those who simply annoy you with their comments, and you won’t hear a question other than a question, it’s basically unpleasant to talk to them about something , especially listening to their rubbish. So do not waste money on such people, you are MORE NEEDED for us, the readers of this forum! And we appreciate you not only by an order of magnitude higher ... but simply much HIGHER!

Juli30 Thank you for the good review and high rating. I always, even here, try to help (namely help, not breed) tourists. And I guarantee pleasant service and PRACTICAL advice to all visitors of this site and my company. Comfort in Thailand depends on the information content of the tourist; here you just need to lead him by the hand. This is not done by ANY (!!!) tour operator. Until it does. But looking at us, many are already thinking. I think soon everything will be ok.
I am ALWAYS open, that's why I give dozens of good practical advice that comes in a personal. Already on this site there are many tourists who met me in Thailand and they themselves can assess the comfort of communicating with me. Ask them and everything will be clear. And I do not advise you to be provocative. Now I often see them from competitors or other people who are either profitable or have other reasons for this. They are always there, how without them? :)))) Good luck everyone!!!
