There was a coup last week in Thailand that has left many people confused about whether they can or should travel to Thailand.

1) Rest assured, it's still safe! This coup is bloodless and almost a bureaucratic affair. There is no violence and no civil unrest. Except for the holiday granted the day after the coup, nothing really has changed that much!

2) Flights are unaffected. Flights are all operating on the same schedules. Note though that there is a new airport opening in Bangkok the week of 28 September, so be aware your flight details might be changing! See this link for more info.

3) Things might be even cheaper! Due to some kneejerk reactions (especially in Australian press) there have been a lot of cancellations throughout Thailand, including Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Mai. Check out the usuals like priceline.com, Orbitz and others to see whether rates have dropped.
