HAHAHA

We drove from Prachuap Khiri Khan yesterday 8 Jun to Khao Lak 200+ kms and it absolutely pissed it down all the way, driving conditions were terrible, at times zero visibility, today we have had some sun and it's warm enough, and I am pleased to note that for Sunday & Monday the South isn't mentioned, we are heading to Krabi on Monday and I prefer to drive in good conditions because these Muppets that drive dark coloured cars in zero visibility rain with no lights on are a danger to everyone on the road and get really upset when you point out the fact that they are invisible.

 

I also prefer to do sightseeing in the sun 

"More rain countrywide"

I get what you are saying, but, having driven over 1000 km so far it has not been the usual weather pattern associated with the rainy season.

 

The 'usual' hour of heavy rain followed by a few hours of glorious sunshine has disappeared, this week we have driven through a continual blanket of heavy cloud with torrential rain, as I posted above, having driven from PKK to Khao Lak 200+ kms it hammered down all the way and the temperature in parts was down to 23 degrees. Not normal.

I live about 50km south of KK, weather has been screwed up for the past 3 years, more so this year.

Temps like you see 22 -23 at night, cloud bursts, thunder all night, winds from everywhere.

Last winter it got to 8C, each year it has been 2C colder.

Wildlife all screwed up too.

 

Hope the weather improves a bit for your journey and stay safe.

East of pattaya has been on/off showers for the past few days but nothing really heavy.

The thing i cant figure out is it rains so damn hard and the streets never get clean. i mean it no matter how much rain there is a coating of dust on the street. i suppose when there is enough dust it just gets moved from one place to another. youd think it could clean out.

In the small town where I live, when it rains the water goes down the drains then, when there is too much water it comes back out of the drains and back on to the road.     When the rain stops the water then goes back in to the drains, ( unless you live downstream ), along comes the local water authority and they wash and sweep the roads...... and so it goes.....

 

I used to work in Saudi desert area; dust storms common in some seasons ( as well as the normal sand storms ), couldn't see even a few metres in front of you.    I remember one that lasted 24 hours a day for 3 weeks.   Where I worked was a farm that used evaporative cooling, hundreds of livestock died.     Even if you went out wearing a mask it became clogged within a few minutes, office aircons also failed.        Travel was almost impossible.
