Your five-step guide to Thailand during the mourning period

As some of you may know, I'm living in Bangkok now, teaching college prep classes. Thailand is currently in a widespread state of mourning over the death of its beloved king last week. He reigned for 70 years and was seen as a great unifier and father figure, and his death shook the country, causing a one-month ban on gratuitous entertainment and a one-year official mourning period. Here is a quick breakdown of what to expect in the coming days and months if you visit Thailand:

This is not a drill. Europe to/from Bangkok or Malaysia for $196 one way.

Hey, blogopals! I'm not quite sure what's going on, but it involves $196 flights one-way (or twice that, round trip) between Berlin, Hamburg, and Dresden, and Bangkok (or just a bit more for all sorts of European cities, including Prague and Barcelona).

China Eastern and Air China deals: US to/from Asia for $500 round trip

China Eastern Airlines has a decidedly mediocre website, and sometimes it's hard to find the flights that match the sales they advertise. But for $268 one-way from New York to Hong Kong, or even less from the West Coast, it's hard to be mad. Unlike a lot of "sales" from Chinese airlines, this price DOES include tax and fees!

AirAsia and Scoot gear up to connect Asia and Europe, low-cost style

AirAsia has just announced that they will start a new route on October 30th, flying from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Istanbul, and on to Barcelona.

$412 round trip USA to Cambodia, with a layover in Tokyo

Do you want to fly to Phnom Penh, Cambodia (from which the rest of Asia is at your fingertips for cheeeep) from the East Coast, West Coast, or Chicago, with a free stopover in Japan, for $412-430? OF COURSE YOU DO. You could even visit me in Bangkok for another $110ish! Wow what a deal!
