The authorities blame insurgents in the wake of the recent referendum wanting to cause instability and confusion.
The fact that they have chosen tourist resorts on the eve of a big holiday weekend for the Queens birthday and national Mother's Day is particularly appalling.

We have booked Phuket on the 21st of this month so a little worried but I'm all for going. Mauy is a little reluctant so we will await developments. Booked through Booking.com so no penalty for cancelling.
