trainman34014 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) We've had about 30 minutes of light rain around Chiang Mai today, so unless things change dramatically then Floods are out of the question !

ThailandRyan Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) Got drilled this evening here in Bangkok. Raining steadily and heavily for the past 3 hours. Started to rain halfway through my 8km run in Lumpini Park. Was a drenched runner by the time I got home. Can't wait to see the morning and what it might bring.

Bassosa Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Crazy how dry Chiang Mai has been the last few months. I think the grand total is at 130 mils for the year. Even the last few days we've barely received a drop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventenio Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 This is why i put my hammock at the top of the mountain, tied high up a few electric poles. no flooding concerns for me during a bad storm!!!!!!!! I've called my hammock, "Darwin" because I'm the smartest poster on TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't Thailand have 77 provinces now :They should listed the one that wasn't affected. Somehow Thais always manage to get things the wrong way round. Lack of logical reasoning.
