Fog. In Bangkok.
This is what the city looked like this morning when I got up. A rare meteorological event here in the Thai captial.
The strange weather — first the unseasonable coolness, which has since abated, sadly — and now this. The fog was thick enough on Thursday, in fact, to cause disruptions in service at Suvarnabhumi airport.
