Hong Kong raised the outbound travel alert for Thailand to Red today in the wake of the Thai government's imposition of the Internal Security Act in Bangkok and its surrounding areas.

Large gatherings of people and protests are expected in these areas in the coming days.

The Security Bureau said Hong Kong people intending to visit these areas should adjust their travel plans. Those already there should avoid protests and large gatherings.

The bureau will monitor the situation. Click here for updates.
