Travellers to the Thailand are being warned of the danger of large demonstrations as anti-government protestors once again take to the streets in an attempt to topple prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra.
The Foreign Office said a number of political demonstrations have taken place in various locations in the capital Bangkok and elsewhere in Thailand since the start of this month. They have been largely peaceful.
"Further large scale protests are taking place, with little warning, at various locations in Bangkok," it said.
The main protests area is along Rachadamnoen Avenue including Democracy Monument, but this has expanded to include protests at a number of government buildings in central Bangkok.
Yesterday the authorities increased security in all districts of Bangkok and in some other parts of the country, which is likely to lead to more police on the streets but also it could cause some traffic disruption.
The Foreign Office said visitors should avoid large gatherings and demonstrations.
Protesters say they want Yingluck to step down amid claims that her government is controlled by her older brother, ousted former leader Thaksin Shinawatra who is living in exile in Dubai.
