A travel warning was issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs last week in regards to Canadians considering travel plans to Thailand.

In light of several explosions throughout the city, a state of emergency was declared and anyone who must travel to Thailand should be very cautious when travelling to Bangkok.

Canadians are also advised to stay away from any areas affected by protestors and to keep aware of advice from local police and media.  During the unrest in Bangkok, a State of Emergency has been declared; all flights into and out of Bangkok are currently suspended.  It is not known when the airport will re-open.  Thousands of travelers have been left stranded at this time.  Canada’s famous chef, Michael Smith, was filming a cooking show in Thailand, is also stuck in Thailand.
