Bangkok Blues

I'm supposed to jet off to bangkok in less than two weeks' time with ms biyong and ms ah-lian.

We are now considering to postpone/ to go ahead with our trip.

Bangkok just had bomb blasts during new year day and unexploded bombs were found in Asia Hotel....

We are staying at Asia Hotel.

I have discussed with the gals. There is currently no travel advisory on Bangkok from our govt. My view is that we should try our ways and means to either postpone the trip or at the minimum, change the hotel. At least, we tried to be safe than sorry.

I have checked with tigerairways for postponement of our flight to Mar. We are able to do that but would have to pay a fee of at least $70 per pax. And according to the airline, no one has called them to cancel booking yet.

It should be safe to travel. But we have to take precautions.

We are now trying to see if we are able to postpone/ change the hotel we are staying.
Looks like we are unable to change the hotel now from the latest email from ms biyong.

Hmm..

Go ahead with original plan? or postpone to a later date?

I will look out for bangkok news updates and hopefully by next week, we are able to make a decision.

  1. I'm sure Bangkok would have stepped up their security during this period. Trust your gut feeling, if it tells you that it's not a good idea then it probably isn't.
    It's always better to be safe than sorry. 70 bucks is a cheap price to pay for safety.

  2. Like what i've been saying, 3 of your lives definitely cost more than 70 bucks. I still feel you gals should postpone it.

  3. The news are at times exaggerated.

    But if you still feel uneasy, go ahead and postpone it.
