Warden Message: PAD Demonstrations Thursday at Siam Paragon and the British Embassy
October 29, 2008
This warden message is being issued to alert U.S. Citizens traveling to
and residing in Thailand that media reports indicate the People's
Alliance for Democracy (PAD) will hold a rally tomorrow, Thursday,
October 30, 2008 at Siam Paragon shopping center beginning at 10:00 a.m.
It is expected that the rally will move down Sukhumvit Road to the
British Embassy where the demonstrators will congregate. At this time,
it is not clear if the demonstrators plan to proceed onto Wireless Road.
The demonstration is expected to last until 2:00 p.m. We ask Americans
to exercise caution if you are going to be in this vicinity or in the
area of any demonstrations.
We wish to remind American citizens that even demonstrations intended to
be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly escalate into
violence. American citizens are therefore urged to avoid the areas of
demonstrations if possible, and to exercise caution if within the
vicinity of any demonstrations.
For the latest security information, Americans living and traveling
abroad should regularly monitor the Department's Bureau of Consular
Affairs Internet web site at http://travel.state.gov, where the current
Worldwide Caution, Travel Alerts, Travel Warnings, and
health-information resources can be found. Up-to-date information on
security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll free in the
U.S. and Canada or, for callers in other areas by calling a regular toll
line at 1-202-501-4444. These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to
8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal
holidays).
American citizens traveling or residing in Thailand are encouraged to
register with the Department of State or the U.S. Embassy. The Embassy
is located at 95 Wireless Road in Bangkok. The American Citizen
Services Unit of the U.S. Embassy can be reached by calling
66-2-205-4049 and by e-mail at ACSBKK@State.gov. The after hours
emergency telephone number is 66-2-205-4000. _________________ Asia Expats Forum Expat Friends Dating
