spidermike007 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I was on that ferry yesterday morning, and already you could see some weather coming in from the east. Looks like Samui is going to take a direct hit, and could see as much as 8" of rain from this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
