Is it Safe to Visit Thailand ?

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Once absolute monarchy is restored, Siam will be very safe.

Several recent events indicate that it's already happening. It can be estimated that the process will likely be completed toward the end of the year after the Royal Cremation in October. It is doubtful that it will formalized but will be the de facto situation with the new constitution.

Have you heard anything about elections being scheduled?

our illustrious general has already said ealry 2018 for elections. But i'd be willing to bet they dont happen.. Thai's are not ready for democracy ( if there was a election in the next year the red shirts ( with a relative of Thaksin's running) would surely win and the whole dog and pony show would start over

2018
BANGKOK: Thailand’s ruling military government said Friday a general election previously promised for this year will be postponed until early 2018, citing royal ceremonies for the delay.

The idea of absolute monarchy being restored is absolutely ludicrous.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

back to the OP's header/topic, fucking dangerous place this is. Absolutely inhospitable, and has been for decades as previous vistors (of those who returned alive) reported. Kevlar denim is almost a must while out for your daily chores, so are small arms, handgranades etc. for your everyday self defense. To stay unharmed, best is not to leave home at all, and even there your personal bunker beneath your established place of abode is probably your best bet. Where are these fucking 'stearing the pot' icons when you need them?

Thai royal agencies brought under control of new king
Thailand's parliament has agreed in a confidential session to transfer control of royal agencies from the government to the new King.

Read more at http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asi ... ng-8779988

"The transferring of these agencies to be under the monarch's direct supervision is another sign of an increasingly absolutist monarch, following the pattern of the new constitution, which similarly was amended to legally enshrine more royal assertiveness," said Paul Chambers, a lecturer at Naresuan University.
