Govt issues Thailand travel warning

Chinese travelers are being warned not to enter Thailand.

The Foreign Ministry and National Tourism Administration of China yesterday suggested tourists postpone trips to the country, which has recently been plagued by rioting. They also alerted Chinese travelers already in Thailand to be cautious and stay away from the rioting.

The warning came after Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva declared a state of emergency on Sunday in Bangkok and five nearby provinces.
