Re: Thailand bombs: Hua Hin resort hit by twin blasts
Tourists shrug off threat as Khao San security tightens
Some foreign visitors were unaware of southern bombings until called from home countries.
FOREIGN travellers enjoying the nightlife at Bangkok's Khao San Road gave mixed responses at the weekend to the increased security measures implemented across Thailand in the aftermath of the bombing spree in seven southern provinces.
Some tourists said they had not noticed tightened security measures in Bangkok. Others said they had not heard anything about a series of bombings in an 18-hour period starting late Thursday until their parents called them, asking them to be cautious or to return home immediately.
"[Bangkok] seems so normal that I did not know there was violence. I watched the news [about] the bloody blasts after my parents called me, saying there were bombings and fires here," said a tourist from Spain who identified himself only as David.
David said Thailand had relatively lax security measures compared to Spain, adding that when his country was hit by deadly bombings, authorities turned out in force to secure crowded areas until the situation eased.
