Canberra, Australia. The Australia Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has issued a statement following the apparent coup in that country. The complete text follows:

In light of the very uncertain political situation and apparent military-led takeover of the Government, we strongly advise Australians to reconsider their need to travel to Thailand until the situation is clarified. Australians in Thailand should exercise extreme caution. You should avoid concentrations of military personnel or military activity.
You should avoid demonstrations and political rallies as they have the potential to turn violent. You should stay indoors, monitor the media, and follow the instructions of the local authorities.
Passengers intending to transit Bangkok airport should check with their airline beforehand.
Staff at the Australian Embassy have been advised to exercise caution and not to send their children to school until the situation on the ground is clarified.
There is a high threat of terrorist attack in Thailand. We continue to receive reports that terrorists may be planning attacks against a range of targets, including places frequented by foreigners.
We strongly advise you to reconsider your need to travel at this time to the southern provinces of Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat and Songkhla or overland to and from the Malaysian border through these provinces, due to high levels of ongoing violence in these regions, including terrorist attacks. On 16 September 2006 there were coordinated bomb attacks in the commercial centre in the southern city of Hat Yai, Songkhla Province, killing five and injuring more than sixty people, including a number of foreigners.
Over 1,200 people have reportedly been killed and many more injured since the violence broke out in January 2004 in the far southern provinces. Terrorists have warned foreign tourists not to travel to these areas. Further terrorist attacks cannot be ruled out and could occur at any time, anywhere in Thailand.
