Is travel to Bangkok safe,currently?
Yes Bangkok is safe. The protest you may have heard about is small in scale to the city. It is at a government building away from the tourist areas. And as far as the problem in the south, that is where the problem stays. Tourism is very important to Thailand so important that in Bangkok there is even a Tourist Police stationed around the city to help tourists. Ah there are few things of interest for a 17 y.o. though it depends on your interest. If you are somewhat adventurous http://www.bangkok.com/tours/index.html Here’s a listing of tours. Maybe the one that may interest you is a cycling tour into some of the local areas of Bangkok. http://www.bangkok.com/cycling-tours/ind… And of course there are the “cultural tours”. I have not taken any of the tours but, I would strongly suggest at least seeing the Grand Palance. It’s pretty awesome in
