The protests in Thailand don’t seem to be showing much sign of running out of energy, so at this point unless there is an end to blockade at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi airport by tomorrow evening I’m going to start putting an alternative travel route into action.

My plan is head into South East Asia via Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur, hopefully without any additional cost (Qatar Airways have been very helpful so far, so I’m optimistic) spend a few days there, and then fly north on a regional flight to Phuket with Air Asia – A budget airline who’s flights don’t appear on flight search engines like Kayak, so check their website directly for route options.

So I’m continuing to look at this as an opportunity, rather then a set back, though it is making it a little harder to get my head around travelling, I was on a very gun-ho just grab my bag and go momentum for the last couple of weeks since I moved out of my house, and finished work last Friday, but now I’ve had a little more time to organize the final details of my packing and better sort out the couple of boxes I’m storing at my parent’s house that rush has been lost.
