ArcticFox Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Judging by the 10 day outlook on internet weather for Thailand, it looks like we are transitioning into the cool, dry season. The floods will dry and the government can forget about flooding for another 9 or 10 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
