Was watching the news on CNN just last night, to reveal the awful, breaking news of the MD80 Flight, bound to Phuket from Bangkok. In fact, the first thing that rushed into my mind was to call all friends either married to Thai nationals or visiting the popular destination.... very sad. My condolences to all.
If any credit is due, from what I understand, the emergency services were said to be very capable and prompt to arrive at the scene... Well done to all involved - NO doubt, this saved some lives...
Be careful out there folks...One thing I have learned during my time in Asia is just how unpredictable and sometimes very user unfriendly the weather in these regions can be.
