Thailand - We made it out of Bangkok!

Just a quick note, we made it to Phuket!

We have been watching the BBC news here, and saw that protesters have taken over Bangkok Airport yesterday. We made it out of Bangkok JUST before they took it over. We were very lucky on that one to not be stranded at the airport.

So we arrived in Phuket, and it was dark. So basically we got onto an airport shuttle, herded into a place where we got a hotel for the night. It was interesting though. Every one of the people in the "travel agency" were very hard to distinguish what sex they were. There was one guy who looked like he was wearing some blonde page wig, but I actually think it was his real hair. Anyways, we got a hotel for the night, but it was pretty noisy, so now we have just moved to the hotel beside it, which I think will suit us just fine for two nights. Everyone wants us to pay in cash for the hotels and such which has put a huge damper on my cash. We were expecting to pay Visa for everything. I found out that my bank card works, but I can't take out money on my visa.

We will be in Patong for the next two nights, and then we will move on the Phuket town for a a couple nights I think. From there, we go to Phi Phi, and then perhaps to Krabi. Who knows what is going to happen with the anti-government protests, hopefully, we'll be able to make it up to Bangkok again, and fly back to Korea (though I'm not looking forward to Korea).

It's somewhat cloudy here, I hope it'll getting sunnier. We only saw the beach last night, so we'
re on our way there. We just wanted to let you know that we're okay and not stranded in the airport or Vietnam.
