Be careful of what you wish for!

Thank Buddha for the new storm drainage system recently installed in Pattaya. Fear not NOT !

Dark skies , heavy rain and strong wind as I write up here in the far north.

Here in south Surin we have had lovely rains for the last 4 days - downpours & drizzle & everything in between. I can see our trees & shrubs grinning with delight and growing apace. And the weeds even more.
