I have a hotel booking in Bangkok for 18th of May for 2 days for shopping, I arrive in Thailand on the 9th. I would hope that it will all be sorted by then. You could always do a bit of research of what you would like to see in Thailand and once you arrive at the international airport, just jump on a domestic flight.....and off you go.

The timing couldn't be any worse. I've booked a flight and was planning to visit Bangkok in the month of May. With all the protests going on in Bangkok, and slight border tension at Phra Viharn, do you think it would be safe to visit Bangkok? I'm an American born Cambodian but had always wanted to visit Thailand. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Both Bangkok and Thailand are big places. It is easy to avoid the red shirt protests. Check out our Bangkok Dangerous map:

Since you are arriving in May, you do have time to avoid Bangkok by booking online the AirAsia budget airline to fly out to other peaceful provinces that you fancy the moment you land.

Because of the territory dispute, some can be a bit pigheaded about nationalities. If asked, simply say you are American.

If the situation still stands, ask your hotel staff about your day's plans and get their input. They will try to steer you away from any trouble.
