The Thai Consular Office in Hong Kong has issued a warning today, for Thai travellers to and those living in the Chinese territory, of possible violent demonstrations by pro-democracy protesters, which may disrupt the public transport system.
It advised Thai people to be prepared to face inconvenience, to avoid the protest sites and to exercise greater caution.
The taking pictures of protesters or police should also be avoided, said the office, adding that they should refrain from doing anything which could be deemed as provocative by the protesters or police.
