Obviously the hundred year flood, I wonder if they'll find a solution before it comes around again?

The last weather warning for Thailand said until Friday, Oct 21st.

European weather center shows at least a decrease from then on.

I don't give too much in forecast over more than 5 days, crystal ball.

A 1 in 100 year flood can come today and tomorrow and next month. It doesn't have to come only 1 in 100 years. ???? Hope I'm right. ????

I may be wrong, but when I stay in Hua Hin some Winters, I see a large amount of rainy days in Thailand s far south.

   I went on a trip to Pattani and Yala several years ago and even in November we has some rain problems with

flooding in those areas.  I am fortunate to be able to travel around Thailand and avoid the areas that have weather problems.

  I hope the Winter months are more pleasant for all.

Pattani and Yala have their rainy season in November - January, so flooding in November is no exception. It's pretty much when it starts.
