Harrogate Veterans will travel to Thailand to defend their Seniors World Cup title despite the recent violent protests in Bangkok.
Team manager Paul Bell told BBC Radio York: "We've been monitoring the situation very closely.
"Although it looked bad on television, and that's not dismissing how serious and tragic it was, the trouble was contained to a very small area."
Harrogate Veterans will represent England in the tournament.
Bell added: "We're only due to go into Bangkok for two days for one of our warm-up games as part of our preparation.
"Then we fly down to Phuket in the south west, which is as far away from Bangkok as it could be.
"The latest first-hand reports are that things are quietening down significantly now."
The team will fly out to Thailand on Wednesday, 26 May.
