Embassies in Bangkok: contact details for travellers

Things have become unpredictable in Thailand and I thought I'd just put up a quick contact list of embassies in Bangkok. This is hastily typed up and is not comprehensive, however, most travellers should be able to find their relevant contact details here. I'm also including a link to some major English-language news pages at the bottom of this post that tend to have comprehensive reports.

It is usually possible to register your whereabouts with an embassy and, at the very least, give a contact number if you have one.

The city code for Bangkok is 02. If you are dialling from outside the country you need to dial you international exit code, if there is one for your country, then 66, then 2, then the 7 digit number.

Things are changing so fast there now, and it seems that a more serious conflict is becoming hard to avoid. From what I hear talking to my friends there, it is limited to certain areas of the city - so far. Hope anyone you know living there is keeping safe.

Yes, it's very worrying. It sounds like it has been more of an annoyance than anything else to those working in the city until now, but when people started throwing around terms like "live fire zone" and "potential civil war", I think people began to get more nervous. I hope your friends are safe too!
