dominique355 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Looks like the rainy season has officially arrived here in Bangkok and I love it. I have to tell the truth that I was suffering under the heat wave last week. But it's not only the reduced temperatures, but also the other benefits of the rainy season, such has I don't need to water the garden, spectacular thunderstorms, great cloud formations, and oh yeah, the sound of the rain drops on the roof. Kind of romantic. However, I could do without the traffic jam (fon tok, rod tid) or the flooding. Ok, the latter is not yet a problem, or is it?

jumnien Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I agree. The rainy season is my favorite season here in Thailand. No more hot sun beating down on us. Beautiful clouds. None of the brown skies of winter. Less tourists. The mountains and fields green up with joy. That said, this could just be an isolated tropical storm passing thru with a few more weeks or more of hot, hot, hot to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Rainy season won't start for another month unless we get VERY lucky and cool season is the best, but rainy season is pretty good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmart Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I like the Rainy season too. Its been cool and overcast with drizzle here for two days now. More Manchester than Rayong, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashacat Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I hate rainy season. Getting pissed on everyday and arriving at work/pub/anywhere like a drowned rat. Cool season is the best by far, all 2 months of it Although I do like it when I'm at home nice and warm and a huge storm rolls in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundman Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Love sitting down in the afternoon, having a beer & watching a giant thunderhead build up & then take off like a screaming banshee accross the land. Scared sh!tless of lightning, hate being wet, hate the disruption of rain on all normal aspects of life. Broken computers. (Lightning stikes) Leaking roofs & gutters. (Slippery floors) Traffic jams. (Lost productivity) Wet equipment in factory. (Horizontal rain through the airvents) Lazy staff. (they all just seem to stop working when its raining) Cheers, Soundman.

jEFFREYk44 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Looks like we just had the shortest most brutal hot season in memory as thunderstorms and low temps are forecast through the week, Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexth Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I can listen the rain outside. I could listen the rain yesterday, before yesterday and the day before too. Isn't it a little too early for the rainy season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfsdoll Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Totally agree highlight of tropical weather is the storm one feel relieved and closer to nature plus in megapolis like BKK the air is fresher heat lesser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warriors Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Love it. Laying in my bedroom on the 17th floor with the wind and rain belting against the window paid then I see that the window leaks and trying to get a service man in this 5 start service appartment is sort of hard to do but then again when it does get fixed it remains fixed.

November Rain Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Hate it! Muddy, messy, wet dog center. Dogs terrified of storms; floods & getting soaked. Bedding (towels) not drying, so nothing to use for dogs. Me getting soaked. Yuk! Give me the sun, any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
