From News.com.au:
Australians holidaying in Thailand have been thrown into chaos with the troubled nation last night declared a terrorist risk.
At least 5000 Australians are registered with the embassy, many enjoying the school holiday break with their families.
They were told to get out of Bangkok and nearby resorts or stay in their hotel rooms as rampaging protesters swarmed into the streets.
A Department of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman said the number of Australians in Thailand was likely to be much higher.
Bangkok descended into a second day of violence after the Government declared a state of emergency.
Thousands of protesters stormed a government building and fired shots as they chased new Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva from his office.
