Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport opened on 16 October 2023, replacing Siem Reap International Airport. This airport closure got me thinking about other airports in Southeast Asia that have closed and been replaced.

I made a list of all the closed airports and included some history and old routes we will never see again.

I visited Luang Prabang by train from Vientiane shortly after Laos reopened in 2022. While Luang Prabang was abnormally quiet then, it was evident that Luang Prabang would be transformed by the Laos-China Railway. This is my trip report and general observations.

The Yellow Line monorail officially launched in Bangkok today. Good luck finding an official map though, let alone a unified map showing the lines of all of the operators. There are some dedicated map makers though that have already made updates, and I have updated my guide that lists all of the maps. The Wiki map here is one of the maps that shows the new yellow line.

It's so confusing that red is liberal and the right side is the wrong side over there.

Let me be frank about my account and what I post: I generally keep my account to my photography. But I am not a "brand". This is my account. I'm a person, not a photo bot.

I do not appreciate "suggestions" about how/what to post. I'm not rude enough to tell any other accounts what/how to post and I'm not going to be polite when people act that way towards me.

If that is an issue & you choose to unfollow, so be it. But if you tell me what to post I'm going to tell you to f*** off
