Torrential rain anf flooding continue to cause problems in many areas.

 

 

 

 

Rat-U-Tit was a thigh-deep river for a couple of hours and I was marooned in a side soi opposite Christin Massage. For a while no-one was attempting to drive, ride or even walk in that area. Just after midnight it eased enough to wade over to Hippie Road for a few beers and an hour or so later the floods subsided and I managed to coax my bedraggled scooter into life and ride home.

 

PS: I'd parked the scooter on Rat-U-Tit but while I was sheltering in a launderette a hundred yards away, the locals rescued it and pushed it to higher ground. Nice people!

The clean up ..........

 

 

 

With the rather overbearing police and the dreadful weather I don't think that any first-time visitors to Phuket will ever return - I was here at this time last year as a Sandboxer so I know Oct/Nov is not the best time but this is rather extreme.
