It seems the U.S. government is suggesting an isolationist approach when it comes to foreign policy of the individual American citizen. Among others, the U.S. government is discouraging its citizens from traveling to Thailand right now, due to the recent protests and the fact that all international airports in Thailand have been brought to a standstill.
Here's an article from CNN that quoted statements from the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok and the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office, who are both basically saying "make our lives easier and stay home."
For those unfamiliar with the current political situation in Thailand, the people of Thailand are having trouble getting multibillionaire media tycoon Thaksin Shinawatra's sticky little fingers out of their government. He was elected Prime Minister in 2001, but when he didn't keep his promises, he was ousted (peacefully) out of office by protestors in 2006 only to be replaced by...his brother-in-law.
