Unrest, disease risk not a deterrent for M'sian travellers
At the ready: Thai authorities manning a roadblock in Narathiwat during an inspection. — Bernama GEORGE TOWN: Thailand remains a top holiday destination for Malaysians despite the country's latest political crisis. The suspension of Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra coupled with ongoing violence in some of the country's southern provinces and a surge in respiratory illnesses are unlikely to deter Malaysians. Haadyai, a city close to the border with Kedah, remains a favourite for a quick break. Executive Erma Idayu Mohd Yusop, 38, is planning a weekend trip there with her family despite the country's troubles. 'I'm not worried at all. In fact, we're heading to Haadyai this weekend for a short family vacation,' she said. She said she would avoid the so-called Deep South – the provinces of Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat and parts of Songkhla – where violence linked to a decades-long insurgency has increased. 'Of course we won't go to risky places. I'll also wear a face mask and stay away from crowded spots, especially with my elderly parents and kids,' she said. On July 1, Thai Department of Disease Control spokesperson Dr Jurai Wongsawat warned of increased risks for eight diseases including Covid-19, influenza, dengue fever and measles as the country heads into its rainy season. Dr Jurai also urged the public to take precautions in light of the rising cases of Covid-19 and the threat of bird flu, which has recently emerged in Cambodia. Civil servant Edward Lee, 45, is also heading north. 'I feel the western coast of southern Thailand is still relatively safe. The issues seem to be concentrated in the southernmost areas,' he said. He has visited Haadyai before and plans to go again this week. 'As long as we stay cautious and avoid troubled zones, there shouldn't be a problem. Life has to go on,' he said. He said many Malaysians are still drawn to Thailand for its food and shopping. A travel agency said demand for trips to Haadyai had spiked. 'All seats for this weekend are fully booked,' said a staff member. 'Families, couples and even groups of friends are going. Everyone wants a short getaway.' Insurance and travel agent Mohd Hazrizal Abdul Halim, 26, whose shop is near Bukit Kayu Hitam, said he had seen more customers than usual. The surge in Malaysian visitors to Thailand are occurring even as the past three months have seen more than 10 violent incidents in the southern provinces which have claimed the lives of children, security personnel and village defence volunteers. 'Sales went up about 20% for this weekend,' said Mohd Hazrizal, adding that he expects to see more business as school holidays approach. 'Malaysians just love going to Thailand,' he added.
