Hi there all. There's been a lot of discussion of Thailand's floods on the Thorn Tree already - with great on-the-ground updates from members. I don't want to double up on that, but did just want to link to some handy resources if you're thinking about heading to Thailand - or you're there already. But make sure you search the forum if you've got a specific question about travel to Thailand - chances are someone's asked it (or answered it) already for you!
