Beth, I totally wish I was going with you. When I went to Thailand in 06, it was amidst a coup. I was traveling from Cambodia and I kept getting messages from back home saying "Whew good thing you are not going to Thailand!" They of course thought I was nuts when I told them I had every intention. Of course the state department warned us but then again there was still warning for Bali! I was with Intrepid tours at the time and if they were going, so was I. Turned out, I saw absolutely no kind of evidence of anything, no protests, nothing. BTW, I LOVE, LOVE that picture of Ronald! SAWADEE KAAAA!

When traveling to China's far west we ran into protests and a few other issues associated with the rioting in Tibet. Awareness, like you stressed, is absolutely the key. Get more than the media's spin for certain. -- Tammie Pertinent and timely advice. When traveling to China’s far west we ran into protests and a few other issues associated with the rioting in Tibet.
