I have a photography trip  to Bhutan planned for this September.  To reach there I’m to fly via Bangkok (one of only a handful of places Druk Air – the Bhutan national airline – has flights from).

If you’ve read the news at all lately  you must have heard about the violence happening in Bangkok right now.  The US and British Embassy have closed and are urging people to avoid travel to Bangkok.

I will be the first to admit that my understanding of the situation is fleeting at best.  One alternative I have to avoid the violence is to fly via Kathmandu. However, the general population of Thailand don’t have much of a choice – it’s their home.

I really do hope it all dies down – not only for my flight but for the people of Thailand.
