Thailand: An Escape Plan
As I realize many of you have been somewhat concerned, after many days of formulating and investigating different plans to make my way to Korea and catch a flight home, I’ve been given word that there is room for a flight from Phuket -> Incheon on Wednesday. This comes as a great relief as I received the phone call about it while on our way to the bus station to book travel to Hat Rai so that I could make my way all the way to Kuala Lampur by Tuesday night. Sufficed to say, Phuket is a lot closer, and I’ve got a nice sleeper bus to get me to Phuket Tuesday morning.
I’ll be sure to update you all with some interesting stories of my journey home, but I wanted to let you all know that I’m in very good spirits here in Thailand. Despite what you may wonder about the situation here in Thailand, it’s incredibly calm. I think Brian’s posting put it well… “one would hardly know the country is in the middle of a coup attempt were it not for reports on the Internet and some locals talking about the airport being closed.” It’s very true, Thailand is still very nice, and they’re giving all those stranded by the airport closure travel stipends (so I’ll be seeing how I can collect my supposed 2,000 baht today). Cheers!
