things i haven't seen in 14yrs here in cm

the dam out back overflowing already 

ants and ants every where /building nest higher from the ground

crabs around walking to new areas/ not the pattaya ones

snails/ and first time slugs every where

i was having a beer in my bbq area /and left for awhile 

on return a slug was in my beer 

i said to wife was time to leave country /or build a large wood boat

If you're doing the ark bit, you'll need another slug for starters.

Shocking...it's raining in rainy season. Who'd a thunk it ???

 

If memory serves , this happens every year, some years more than others, but still every year. The Thais seem shocked. <deleted>???

You are making light of a special, but natural occurrence Tagaa.

 

This year the actual rain is different.

 

I was fishing yesterday and it started to rain. As the water dripped down my face I noticed that it tasted different; almost mineral.

 

I collected some, in a container, with a view to examining it later. Very strange rain this year.

Mozzie spray?

Could have been neem (mozzie deterrent). But this was not a bitter taste.

 

I'll analysis the sample later and post my findings.

I went down to the Chaophraya river in Bangkok on Sunday and was surprised to see the water levels the lowest I had ever seen. I could see the footings on some pillars I had never noticed before.

 

Exceptionally low tide? Maybe. Just strange to see with all the rain reported up country.

Spring tide. They'll be opening up the gates soon enough.
