Thailand has had a reputation as a safe travel destination, but now that anti-government protesters have shut down the nation’s largest (and primary) airports.

The shut down, according to Thailand officials, will likely cost the country 1.5% of its GDP between now and the end of the year because of the decrease in tourism due to the shut downs.

Protesters from People’s Alliance for Democracy, shut down Suvarnabhumi airport a few days ago, and officials say the airport won’t be open again until at least Monday night.

Late last week, I read somewhere that Thailand was trying to help tourists out of the country. However, I can’t see myself visiting Thailand anytime soon, or at least until the situation with the government is settled.
