The travel advisory followed recent warnings by the Thai embassies in Paris and Brussels that Thais should avoid crowded areas in both countries. However, Thai travelers should have the phone numbers of relevant Thai embassies handy, in case they should need help. But when there is a situation, (travellers) must consider where they should go, and avoid areas where there are crowds or conflict," the spokeswoman said.
