china has revoked its travel warning for thailand, issued last week amid fears of a possible terrorist attack, foreign minister surapong tovichakchaikul said on friday.
mr surapong said the revocation came after he and prime minster yingluck shinawatra attended a chinese new year event at the chinese embassy on wednesday and asked ambassador guan mu to lift the travel alert.
mr guan promised to discuss ms yingluck’s request with beijing, mr surapong said.
the minister said he believed the cancellation of the chinese travel warning would help improve thailand’s tourism atmosphere, especially during the chinese new year holiday when many foreign visitors were expected to travel to the kingdom. the lunar new year begins on monday and millions of chinese have already begun travelling.
travel advisories issued by 19 other foreign embassies remained in effect, he said, adding that he hoped other countries would revoke their warnings soon.

B2bn package goes to Admin Court
วันที่ 2012-01-17 17:07:00 โดย BangkokPost - 6.10368585586548
the opposition democrat party on tuesday petitioned the administrative court, seeking an injunction against the cabinet resolution for a two-billion-baht compensation package for voictims of the political violence between 2005 and 2010, pending an investigation.
the cabinet passed the resolution on jan 10.
sathit pitutecha, a democrat party mp for rayong, said the party had filed the petition with the administrative court because the cabinet resolution, once implemented, would be harmful because:
1. the compensation was illegal as the resolution set no criteria for the payments;
2. the resolution, once implemented, would cause division in society;
3. the resolution could cause people to lose respect for the law;
4. it could damage financial discipline; and
5. it could damage the justice process.
therefore, the democrat party asked the court to issue an injunction against the implementation of the compensation package approved by the cabinet, mr sathit said.
