You have to admit, there aren’t many countries in the world in which terrorists can take over one airport, let alone two, with impunity. People outside of Thailand know that the Army were ordered in and refused right?It’s been going on for days now, and is pretty serious: some pundits think Bangkok’s airports will be [...]

Hey everyone, sorry for the dearth of posts - I have been busy.

When we arrived, Mint went off to do some clothes shopping for herself and Jack and I went to go eat dinner. Of course, as you can see in [...]
