Several People have expressed concern ref SARS. To put their minds at rest I offer the following;
a) There have been 150 deaths worldwide to date (15/04).
b) There are around 40,000 cases worldwide.
c) I'm unsure of exact figures for Thailand but I think its 1x fatality (& he arrived from China).
When Bali was Bombed we suffered a "knee jerk" reaction when foreign governments imposed a blanket ban on travel in SE Asia. I hope this allays the fears of anyone thinking of cancelling their trip.
BTW-April 13th saw the start of "Songkan", a 5 day festival for Thai new year. After reading the attached link you'll perhaps agree SARS isn't so bad after all!!
