I have a story on the Wall St. Journal‘s Southeast Asia Real Time blog today called “Floating Lantern Festival Continues Despite Thai Floods.”
It begins:
A popular Thai holiday in which candle-laden lanterns are floated along waterways and launched into the skies has been disrupted in Bangkok due to ongoing flooding, but festivities are continuing as planned in some other parts of the country.
Click through to read the rest.
More soon on the flooding that continues here in Bangkok.
For a taste of what I did today — hint: it involved hunting for a crocodile — see my recent Tweets.
Stay tuned.
