Once you've flown through the stuff they over the Andaman Sea/Bay of Bengal you don't call European bumps turbulence!

Flown that way many times as a passenger. Earlier this year coming out of KL bound for Muscat during daylight hours, the air was quite hazy but no evidence of CBs. Neverthless we were rocked around for a good hour whilst the captain took us west to avoid the main cell. Despite my many hours in the air as a pax and more recently as a PPL I still get quite disconcerted when being bumped around.
