AUSTRALIANS have been urged to stay away from the Thai capital, Bangkok, as political tensions rise ahead of a court ruling that could see $2 billion in assets confiscated from former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
The warning came yesterday from the Tourism Council of Thailand amid coup jitters after two attempted bombings and the threat of a million-strong march by Thaksin loyalists.
Council secretary Pornthip Hirunkape was quoted by ABC radio as warning Australians to stay away from Bangkok for the next fortnight.
