After Bali being hit in 2002, that was enough to put me off the REST OF THE WORLD for a while. Phuket was a similar destination that had not been hit, so I figured it must have been on the list. And quite frankly, I would have felt safer in Bali, having already been attacked, than somewhere that hadn't! Unfortunately Spain proved that.
If you believe the drugs were accidentally planted, then the same thing could happen travelling anywhere OS. Afterall the drugs were supposedly destined for another Aus. port, NOT Bali. If you were caught at a Thai port with drugs on board, you would be in the poo there too.
While I'm not saying ignore the travelling warnings, I refuse to wrap myself and family in cottonwool and never leave Aus. again. The whole world, including Aus., is now under threat.
