Pursuant to the lifting of the state of emergency on 14 September 2008 and the Royal Command appointing Mr. Somchai Wongsawat as a new Prime Minister on 18 September 2008, it was determined that the political situation in Thailand has returned to normal and that potentials risks to public safety from possible confrontation between opposing political groups had eased. As life goes on as usual in almost all of Bangkok and the rest of Thailand, the Kingdom’s tourist attractions and shopping districts remain unaffected, safe and open for business as usual. Hotel and other travel-related infrastructure and services, including all airports, operate as normal. Train services throughout the country have resumed full operations. Roadways are open, with only certain roads in Bangkok around the Government House compound remaining closed. Public utilities and communication services operate uninterrupted, contrary to reports of possible disruptions. Hundreds of thousands of foreign visitors continue to travel to Thailand every week, which reflect their confidence in the country. On economic aspect, Thailand’s economic fundamentals remain strong, unaffected by the current political situation. Welcoming and promoting trade and investment with foreign partners has been a staying feature of the policy of any Thai Government. The reality of our economic interdependence with the global market naturally ensures that these policies will continue unchanged with the Thai economy remaining open for business as usual. According to “Doing Business 2008 Report” by the World Bank Group released on 10 September 2008, Thailand is ranked 13th among 181 countries in terms of ease of doing business, up from 19th last year. In acknowledging our increased ability of protect investors, the report testifies to the continuing attractiveness of Thailand as a destination for investment.

On 14 September, 2008, the Royal Thai Government lifted the State of Emergency previously declared in Bangkok. On Sunday 14 September 2008, Mr. Somchai Wongsawat, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education, in his capacity as Acting Prime Minister, announced the immediate lifting of the state of emergency, which had been declared in the Bangkok Metropolitan Area on 2 September 2008. The Royal Thai Government’s decision to lift the state of emergency came after careful consultations with the security authorities concerned, including General Anupong Paochinda, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Thai Army, and Police General Patcharawat Wongsuwan, Commissioner-General the Royal Thai Police, during which it was determined that the situation in Bangkok had returned to normal, and the potential risk to public safety from possible confrontations between opposing political groups had eased. The political situation in general and the demonstrations by political groups in particular should not affect the daily life of foreigners living in or visiting Thailand. All public services, including communications and utilities, continue to function normally. All airports and train services have resumed full operations. Roadways are open to commuters, with only certain roads in Bangkok around the Government House compound still closed. Life in the capital and the rest of the country goes on as usual. The Kingdom’s tourist attractions and shopping districts are unaffected, safe and continue to welcome visitors from around the globe. Even now, hundreds of thousands of foreign visitors continue to travel to Thailand every week – a reflection of their confidence in the country. Looking ahead, following the 9 September 2008 ruling by the Constitutional Court which resulted in the termination of the ministership of Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej, a new administration is expected to be formed soon. The transition is a normal process in accordance with parliamentary procedures as provided for in the Constitution and on the basis of the rule of law. All sides concerned continue to reiterate the intention to exercise utmost restraint and work towards resolving the current political differences through peaceful means.

Though the state of emergency has been declared in Bangkok on 2 September 2008, life in the capital and the rest of the Kingdom continues as usual. The prohibition of assemblies or gatherings of more than five persons applies only to political gatherings, which may lead to unrest. The measure does not in any way apply to the organization of local and international corporate meeting, incentive events, conventions and exhibitions, or MICE. The vast majority of the city, including all the major tourist spots (including the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, Wat Arun-Temple of Dawn, and Sanam Luang-The Royal Ground), shopping centres and riverside attractions, as well as all roads and public/private transport systems are functioning normally. Bangkok’s transportation are unaffected. All hotels and resorts in Bangkok and throughout Thailand are open for business as usual. Travel to key destinations around Thailand, such as Pattaya, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Northeastern Thailand (Isan), and other parts of the country are also unaffected. Suvarnabhumi Airport and regional airports around Thailand are operating normally including Phuket International Airport, Krabi Airport, Samui Airport, Surat Thani Airport and Hat Yai International Airport. Trains services are operating as normal except for services to the southern region of Thailand. Roadways are open to commuters. Only certain roads around the Government House are closed. Public utilities and communication services have not been disrupted. The above information indicates the limited nature of the ongoing political situation and protests in Thailand and the minimal disruptions. The business, tourism, and lives of people are continuing as usual. (12 September 2008)

The situation in Bangkok and the rest of the Kingdom is calm. The state of emergency, which has been declared in Bangkok on 2 September 2008, intends to prevent further clashes between the anti-and pro-government protesters. Therefore, the prohibition of assemblies or gatherings of more than five persons applies only to political gatherings which may lead to unrest. The vast majority of the city, including all the major tourist spots and shopping centres as well as all public/private transport systems are functioning normally. (9 September 2008)
