    If I had family in Myanmar I’d try everything I can to get them out. If they have the option to travel to Thailand, they should take it.

      It’s super complicated. Her dad was a minister in the government that got deposed, he just wasn’t a member of the party that got deposed.

      Military rolls in, gives him an offer he can’t refuse… “Hey, you wanna come work for us?.. I SAID ‘YOU WANNA COME WORK FOR US???’”

      So now they catch shit from both sides. He’s not in a position to tell the military “No!” and the whole family gets crap for being on “their side”. It’s a whole thing. She had to nuke all her social media because of it.

        Damn, in that case there’s no option to meet in Thailand or Singapore. It could raise suspicion from the military.

          I know, even just leaving the country could get them in trouble, much less returning.

          All I want is for everyone to be careful and come home safe.
