I had the bright idea to take my Bangladeshi co-workers abroad to see the handicrafts available. It was a good idea, but a lot easier said than done. It is very difficult for Bangladeshi citizens to get visas to anywhere, and as a result we were all going all over Bangladesh getting this or that document or signature and going many times to the visa center. Finally, 3 out of 6 got their visa, and came to Thailand with me. We're visiting Chang Mai and Bangkok, going to a trade fair, and looking at handicrafts.
