A Small Distraction from Reality

Phuket and Phi Phi Islands, Thailand

There is a time lag in our posts. Before those of us outside China began to fully understand the threat from the COVID-19 crisis, we visited Phuket and Phi Phi islands in Thailand. We won’t offer any commentary about the visit. We’ve simply put together a photo montage.

Hopefully viewing the pictures will provide a momentary respite from the non-stop stream of increasingly bad news (and for those of you in Canada, a distraction from the brutal weather).

Before the need to lock down became so imperative we visited Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Son, Thailand, and were based in Bangkok for the winter. At some point we will share those experiences. This does not seem the time.

We are now self-quarantining at a house in Thailand to protect ourselves and those we might come in contact with. We urge everyone to do the same.

To the friends and fellow travellers we’ve met along the way: Stay safe. Wash your hands. Keep your distance.
