Thailand's Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said Friday that order has been restored in Bangkok and the nation's provinces, after an offensive to shut down anti-government protests.

"We have restored order in the capital of Bangkok and the provinces of Thailand," Abhisit said in a nationally televised address, but said there was much work to be done to bring about reconciliation.

"We will continue to swiftly restore normalcy and we recognise that as we move ahead there are huge challenges ahead of us, particularly the challenge of overcoming the divisions that have occurred in this country," he said.

17th May Bangkok Violence Update
PDF Print E-mail

After a bad 24 hours of trouble on the streets of Bangkok it seems that the trouble has changed from boiling point to a quiet simmer.  Late in the day the Red Shirt gave the impression of holding out an olive branch to the Royal Thai Army and we certainly hope their words are genuine and the Government at least give them a chance to stand by their statements.

We would like to re-iterate from previous updates that the situation is only confined to a relatively small area of Bangkok and has not affected any region we tour including Chiang Mai city, Mae Hong Son province and The Golden Triangle with no danger to tourists visiting these areas.   Suavarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok) is situated a long way outside of Downtown Bangkok and the airport is operating as normal. 

If you are travelling to Chiang Mai by air we advise to avoid travel outside of the confines of Suavarnabhumi airport and transfer direct to Chiang Mai airport by one of the 16 flights a day serviced by Thai Airways, Nok Air, Bangkok Airways, Airasia or One Two Go.

Our tours are still operating as normal however we will update you on any new happenings and should the situation change for the worse and affect the Northern regions to a degree that would be a danger to us or our customers we will post details on our homepage.  Updated 03:17 18/05/10

What They Said

Had an absolute blast on the 6 day, duel terrain, tour with Motorbike Thailand. Had our limits thoroughly explored and often breached! (All in a controlled and comfortable manner, I hasten to add!) The local knowledge of Andy and our legendary guide, Eak, was invaluable. We went to places not many tourists had ever gone before! (Shan State Army Forever!) We were incredibly proud, if slightly muddy, pioneers! Starting at a reasonable hour every morning, we managed to finish in plenty of time to make it to the pub's/bar's/club's/people's front room etc, for our evening rehydration! Never had a bad day's riding, Thailand was stunning and did not disappoint on any level! The little Kwak's served us well, despite trying every possible terrain!! Thank you Motorbike Thailand, will probably see you again sometime! ( Colin handy,  UK)
