Popular Post Captain Monday Posted July 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2021 It's called seasonal weather happens every year. 42c in Dubai today. Family went to Maldives already Better than 15 nights locked in a room, "dry" Why not? It doesn't rain 2 weeks straight. and surfs up Kahuna. No hordes, cleanest marine environment in decades. So maybe not everything is a negative? Have a great weekend. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about slowing down and keeping your distance? Wet roads cause extra friction on the tires slowing the vehicle down...therefore must increase speed to compensate ????

ChC1 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I can see the next headline brewing: Phuket pause Sandbox program for one month due to heavy rain and strong wind. It is a brilliant opportunity for Thai government to save face and not to mention Covid as the reason to pause the program for a short while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt most of them even know it's rainy season in Phuket right now. Edited July 30, 2021 by shdmn 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
