ah Thailand. The only country where it floods during the drought and where there's a drought during the flood.

Had a huge deluge in Pattaya early this morning (Tuesday).

Something to look forward to next week then.

It's cause the climate is all out of whack. These storms coming from the South China Sea are an abnormality, however we've had several the last few years. Rainy season is starting so much later than it's supposed now than before. It doesn't look good for the future farmer in Thailand.

And it's been dry in Na Jomtien. Hazy skies but not a drop of rain (yet!).
