		<description><![CDATA[Chiang Mai, THAILAND, 1 December 2008 - Several countries are making efforts to evacuate their nationals stranded in Thailand after anti-government protesters closed down the Suvarnabhumi and Don Muang airports in Bangkok.

Reports from various sources state that all trains south to Malaysia and the Kuala Lumpur International aviation hub, are fully booked through to 8th December.  Alternatives such as the Laos capital, Vientiane, are an arduous journey from Bangkok with no guarantee of flights available from the far smaller airport there.   Flights from the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai to Singapore (another regional aviation hub) are also reported as fully booked through to the 8th December.

Up to Sunday, there were some 100,000 Thai and foreign passengers stranded in Thailand, and abroad, due to the closure of the two main airports, Suvarnabhumi last Tuesday and Don Mueang airport last Wednesday. One report has claimed Suvarnabhumi will reopen tonight at 6pm, but that is seen as impossible by most observers.]]></description>

<strong>A Level Playing Field - Part 1</strong>
CHIANG MAI, Thailand - 27 June 2002

<strong>I’d been almost 24 hours on the move.</strong> I’d decided to travel from the airport to the hotel by air-con taxi.  After agreeing the price to Pattaya (Baht 1,000), and loading the baggage, I was starting to believe I was in the correct country, when my first experience of Thai driving skills - between the Domestic terminal and the expressway on-ramp, convinced me of it.

The idiocy of the truck that carved us up made the taxi driver ask me for a cigarette – something no other taxi driver has done since; ergo, it was a seriously close shave.  It set my opinion of Thai driving logic (and skills) from that moment on.  An opinion that has never changed, and maybe never will ...]]></description>
