should I visit Thailand despite instability
I think Thailand is a terrific country to visit but until they, the people, are able to figure out how they want their 'democracy' to work, then prospective visitors with tight time frames are likely to avoid Bangkok especially after the December fiasco of Suvarnabhumi's shutdown. Tourists need to have a sense or stability and dependability and if they don't feel that they can catch their flights, then they'll choose an alternative gateway such as KL or Singapore. It's really sad how the politicians, especially Thaksin, have destroyed Thailand's reputation as a 'safe' destination.On the other hand, I've visited Thailand enough to know how to avoid the 'troubled' areas. And it's a great time to travel there because there are great deals / discounts to be had.
