In the last six months, Thailand has reached the headlines in the world. In November 2008, was the "yellow shirts" to the international airport in Bangkok, harassed, and in recent weeks, the country has a number of national emergency, if the "red shirts" before deciding to deal with their protests in Bangkok. But in many areas of Thailand, everything seems peaceful and quiet, and no evidence of such political protests. There are signs that part of theInterests and concerns of the local population, and the quieter bars, restaurants and hotels.
The problems are complex behind these protests, but ultimately quite simple:
The yellow shirts (also known as the People's Alliance for Democracy or PAD note) in accordance with the concept of democracy but also the feeling that people should have some understanding of the consequences of long-term economic social and political vote. They believe that Thaksin used bribery to win the majority votePopulation in rural areas of northern Thailand, in the cable to the 2001 elections, the Prime Minister himself.
The red shirts, but more a figure of Robin Hood who took from the rich to the poor of Thaksin. They think they are in better financial situation in both the short and long term under the Thaksin government. Thaksin is accused of corruption and one party chooses the prime minister and delivered his country. As a result, they feeldeceived.
Who is right and who is evil is not in question. At this time there is more to the impact of these struggles have been visiting Thailand's economy and the number of tourists they want. As the major protests in November 2008 began, many tourists canceled their trips, and only recovered the effects of the tsunami, the tourism industry in Thailand is still plenty of season to further reduce the number of tourists .The impact of this is widespread. Entire families are based on tourism revenue to survive delivered.
This high percentage of the population in tourist areas of Thailand are not only the income from tourism, most of the inhabitants of these places anything but a peaceful solution. They want foreigners still Smiles regard to Thailand as a land.
Although nobody is encouraged to go to the center of a conflict, I am sureI speak for the majority, if I consider the real impact of these struggles is in Thailand. Neither red or yellow have a problem with tourists and foreigners, but if you are concerned about recent unrest in Bangkok in, let me emphasize that there is no need to fly to Bangkok, if you want to visit Thailand. You can travel from Kuala Lumpur, with flights to Krabi, Phuket or direction. From there you can fly right on their last vacationDestination, where a warm welcome and peaceful atmosphere of waiting - for tourists in Thailand and have come to expect - the land of smiles.
