British FCO Declares Bangkok Safe

Tuesday, November 15, 2011

The British Foreign and Commonwealth Office has declared Bangkok safe according to a recent report.

The FCO said on their website: “We now assess that the risk of floods affecting central Bangkok is reducing, though a small risk remains that some of the floodwater affecting the suburbs to the north, east and west of Bangkok could spread slowly towards the centre of the city."

"This risk will diminish as more floodwater drains into the sea."

All of our properties in central Bangkok remain unaffected by the floods. We will keep you up updated on the latest news as it happens.
