The world is getting smaller, seems even vacations are more dangerous than every day life. Thailand as beautiful as it is, is  plagued with civil unrest since the military took over in a coop 2 years back. That would be enough for me to find another destination, but everyone has a desire. Hitting a country in such a manner puts great pressure on some countries, especially non developed one who rely on tourism for a livelihood.

According to Fox News:

It was not clear who was behind the attacks Thursday and Friday, but police ruled out links to international terrorism or a low-level insurgency in the country’s Islamic south.The timing and scope of the attacks suggested the bombs were set off by opponents of the Southeast Asian nation’s ruling junta, which last weekend organized a successful referendum on a constitution that critics say will bolster the military’s power for years to come.The explosions all occurred south of Bangkok and several of the blasts — including one on Patong beach in the tourist town of Phuket, three in the seaside resort city of Hua Hin — appeared designed to strike the tourism industry.

At this writing it is hard to say who is responsible, but there is a large Muslim influence in the area, and it cannot be denied it is a possibility that involvement is likely. Be careful where you book your next excursion.What do you think?
