SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has urged Singaporeans to postpone their travel to Bangkok to a later date if they have no pressing need to go there.

An MFA spokesman said the situation in the Thai capital remains uncertain and the ministry is closely monitoring the situation. He added that Singaporeans intending to travel to Thailand should monitor news developments there.

And before they travel, they are advised to register with the ministry at
www.mfa.gov.sg.

This will enable the ministry and the Singapore Embassy in Bangkok to contact them and render necessary consular assistance in case of emergencies.

When in Bangkok, the ministry advised Singaporeans to avoid areas where there is a risk of disturbance, like the Government House.

They should also take the necessary precautions for their personal safety, including buying comprehensive medical and travel insurance.

It added that during this period of uncertainty, Singaporeans must be prepared to face inconveniences in their travel.

And should Singaporeans need help, they can contact the Singapore Embassy in Bangkok at 129 South Sathorn Road, Bangkok 10120, or call 001-66-(81)-844-3580.

They can also reach MFA's duty officer at 6379-8800 or 6379-8855.
