The scene at Thailand’s U-Tapao airport: my AFP story

Bangkok’s international airport remains closed today, and it’s unclear when flights will resume. Yesterday I visited U-Tapao airport, about two hours southeast of Bangkok, where some international flights have been arriving and landing. Here’s an AFP story I wrote about the scene there:

I will hopefully be flying into U-Tapao from Phuket next week. And hopefully because it’s a domestic arrival, it’ll be relatively smooth.
