Hi everyone

I am really torn on what to do with regards to my holiday in Thailand and would appreciate any advice or info on my rights to cancel the holiday.

I have booked a package holiday to Bangkok and Krabi for Christmas but am unsure on whether I should go due to the corrent problems as the situation appears to get worse every day. I know Christmas is a long way away but I am worried I will end up losing a lot of money and will have to spend my only holiday of the year at home if I leave it til closer to the time.

The tour operator was initially very reluctant to discuss the eventuality of us not being able to go on holiday and wasn't very clear about what would happen in the worse case scenario. Eventually, many emails later and many phonecalls later, they told me:
- if I wish to cancel now I will lose about £ 1000
- if I don't cancel now and I cancel around October (when the rest of the money is due) then I will lose the deposit of approx £2000
- If Bangkok becomes a no-go area, they are unsure if my stay in Bangkok can be cancelled and extend my stay in Krabi as I have been booked on "special flights" which are non-refundable (which I wasn't aware of until today)

Does this seem right to you? Am i going to lose all this money if the worse was to happen? I am unaware of my rights and any advice would be very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your time
