Political Unrest Thailand

As probably most of you have heard or read in the news, there are a lot of protests at the moment in Thailand. Some of them being violent, some being peaceful.
To sum up the reasons for the protests: Former Prime Minister Thaksin was found guilty of being corrupt and several other issues and went into exil, his sister later claimed power and tried to bring her brother back by trying to pass an amnesty bill for him and several other corrupt politicians.

Although Germany and several other countries have issued travel warnings, it's for sure still save to visit Thailand. Here in Phuket and the provinces there are minor, peaceful protests. As I've been to Bangkok last week I think it's also save to go there if you avoid the following areas:

• Democracy Monument on Ratchadamnoen Klang Avenue
• Ministry of Finance on Rama VI Road
• Government Complex on Chaengwattana Road
• Nang Lerng Junction on Nakhonsawan-Phitsanulok Roads
• Makkawan Bridge on Ratchadamnoen Nok Avenue
