Egypt-based Thais advised to stay away from violence

Thai nationals living or working in Egypt are advised to stay at home to avoid looming violence stemming from a mass protest and a likely government crackdown.

Deputy Foreign Ministry spokesman Jakkrit Srivali said Tuesday night that violent clashes were sporadic in Egypt and no Thai had been reported wounded, and the country was bracking for a 48-hour time frame when protestors set for the government's answers to their calls
"Immediate evacuation of Thai nationals is not needed now, and no Thais have filed for request to return to Thailand," he added
