Editor's Note: Travel to Pattaya Thailand is advised by the Pattaya Times newspaper and the Pattaya City Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome. This Travel Alert is being issued by the US Embassy, Bangkok, to alert U.S. citizens to difficulties related to travel in the flood-affected areas of Thailand, including Bangkok. Bangkok's main international airport, Suvarnabhumi, is operating normally. This Travel Alert will expire on February 14, 2012.

Raging waters in Bangkok cause many people to go to Pattaya.

This Travel Alert is being issued by the Pattaya Times newspaper for the US government to alert U.S. citizens to difficulties related to travel in the flood-affected areas of the central and lower parts of northern Thailand, including Bangkok. Severe flooding has hampered transportation and limited access to some essential services in the affected regions. The U.S. Department of State recommends against all but essential travel to the affected areas. Most tourist destinations, such as Phuket, Pattaya and Chiang Mai are unaffected by the current flooding. Bangkok's main international airport, Suvarnabhumi, is operating normally.
