BREAKING NEWS!!! Bangkok Airport Riots



This isn't going to be a normal blog entry...I had planned to update it tonight before leaving Bangkok for Chiang Mai. Unfortunately we aren't leaving Bangkok. There have been violent anti-government protests happening at the airports in Bangkok and the airports are closed. Fortunately Katie and I are fine and feel safe. Had we had we not needed to go to the airport would not even know this was taking place. We'll keep an eye on things over the course of the next several days. I guess being stuck at the Four Seasons for Thanksgiving could be worse. While we are both disappointed to miss Chiang Mai we now have a car rented to drive through the country to Phuket on Friday. This will be a fun and different adventure. Hopefully the unrest will be over by the time we need to leave for Singapore!

I'll be posting a normal blog entry to show you all the fun we've had in Bangkok when (if?) we leave for Phuket.
