Avoid southern Thai

Wisma Putra should issue an advisory to Malaysians to stop going to Thailand for the time being, in light of the bombings in Danok that injured 2 Malaysians and dozens Thais yesterday.

Of course Danok is among Malaysians favorite towns in south Thailand for shoppers and 'leisure hunters' apart from Golok, Betong and Takbai.

Better stay safe for Christmas!

Two Malaysians and 20 Thais were injured in a series of blasts in the Thai border town of Danok, in Sadao district today.

The blast occurred some 1km from the Immigration, Customs and Quarantine Complex in Bukit Kayu Hitam in Padan Besar at 11.40am, reported Star Online.
Malaysian consul-general in Songkhla, Mohd Faizal Razali, confirmed that the two Malaysians were injured in the blast.
The report said the town was rocked by a series of four blasts from bombs hidden in parked motorcycles, with the first attack taking place in front of the police station in Sadao while the second was in a parking space at the Sadao police station.

Futher north, tens of thousands of anti-government protesters took to the streets of Bangkok yesterday, some surrounding the home of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, whom they want to oust.

Some 70,000 to 80,000 protesters were marching in Bangkok, Lt. Gen. Paradon Patthanathabut, Thailand's national security chief, told CNN, and 10,000 had surrounded the premier's home while she tours the northeast provinces.

In a bid to cool tensions, Shinawatra dissolved the nation's parliament earlier this month and called for new elections, to be held on February 2.

But the move has done little to appease anti-government protesters, who remained on the streets by the thousands. In fact, they vowed to boycott the polls.
