The Security Bureau reminds people planning a trip to Thailand to monitor developments there and consider adjusting or postponing their travel plans.

Travellers should watch their personal safety and avoid large gatherings or demonstrations.

Anyone needing assistance in Thailand can contact the Hong Kong Immigration Department's 24-hour hotline (852) 1868, or local the Chinese Embassy on (66) 818214771 or (66) 819840658. 

Bangkok is generally calm except for some areas mainly near Government House after the declaration of a state of emergency.

The Hong Kong Government will continue monitoring the situation. The bureau will consider the risks to Hong Kong residents' personal safety in deciding whether or not to issue a travel warning.

The department has received 29 requests for assistance from August 30 to 4pm today, of which 28 cases have been resolved.
