Indeed, so perhaps next time he will understand what a stupid idea it is to go on a raft in a swollen river, but there again perhaps he won't.

Is his name Flash Gordon?

My wife and I were in Tha Wang Pha for five weeks ending on 2 Aug.  we saw increasingly heavy afternoon rainfall over that time, but no flooding. These are truly friendly and decent people and it is heart-wrenching to see what befell them.
