Vietnamese travellers continue to flock to Bangkok despite security concerns following bomb explosions in the Thai capital last week.

The HCM City-based SPSC Tour sent a group of tourists on February 14 after no cancellation or delay was requested by anyone.

Perfect Tours TravelCo. said it will send some 75 tourists to Thailand between February 22 and 27.

Vietnamese tourists do not plan to return home ahead of schedule either, HCM City tour operators said this week.

However, Saigontourist Travel Service said some travellers decided to delay their trip to Thailand or go to Hong Kong instead.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand said last week that the situation in the country was under control after the two bomb explosions./.
