SINGAPORE - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) no longer advises Singaporeans to consider deferring non-essential travel to Bangkok, according to a press statement released Wednesday.
But Singaporeans in Bangkok or travellers to the Thai capital are still advised to avoid the flood-affected areas, and to take necessary precautions and monitor the local news for instructions from local authorities.
Concerns about the possibility of outbreaks of water-borne diseases such as leptospirosis remain.
According to the statement, the flood situation in Bangkok "continues to improve and Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has announced that inner Bangkok will be safe from floods, as the measures to stem the flooding have been successful."
Singaporeans who are travelling to or in Thailand and have yet to eRegister with MFA should do so at http://eregister.mfa.gov.sg.
Singaporeans who require consular assistance can contact the Singapore Embassy in Bangkok or the MFA Duty Office.
