How are people to know the status of billboards etc. ....................LOL

Hope we can get a few storms to settle the air down. Worst air pollution I've seen in the upper Nan River valley in the five years I've lived here. Today particularly bad.

Need a bit of the wet stuff to help the balmy afternoons pass.

You just know that rain - if any - will be blamed for the up and coming mass deaths in a week or so

Prevent crop damage?

Had one this afternoon, now very humid........????

Wow... we got lucky around Pattaya. A morning thunderstorm and a few hours rain and cloudiness kept it refreshing... most welcome.
