thaigerd Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 When I woke up this morning I was full of plans and hoping the rain will stop, but it does not look like. Wife and dogs where sleeping very deep, actually they looked like paralysed by the rain and cold temperatures. So I went to Tops for some cookng ingredients: Just cooking fried beef burgers, roasted potatoes and cauliflower in a creamy cheese sauce. What are youb doing these days? In case the rain stops today I will go for a motorbike test drive. Gerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeungKen Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I finally got around to doing my ironing - such a wet day that I had no excuse - feel better now that it's done - no doubt the washing pile will grow but at least I can say it's too wet to wash. Time to dig out the good books I have been saving. I wonder if it's going to be too wet to go to Thalang to yet another pre-cremation send-off. Has anyone else noticed how it appears more Thai people die in low season than in high season ? What sort of M'bike are you going to test Gerd ?

donna Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 the ironing is a good one i guess, as its one of the only ways you can get your clothes fully dry in the wet season! books are good too. especially when tucked up with a hot chocolate. watch those DVD's you have been putting off for so long. go to a movie. i like gold class myself. a small indulgence.

chickencurry Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 First "monsoon" experienced in Phuket (is this monsoon?) - what is it with all these bugs, please??? Eating out - tons of bugs, eating in - tons of bugs. Was here last year for 2 weeks in June, some rain and didn't see these bugs. Is this a May thing? I don't like 'em.

Yeah after the rain sometimes the "mang mows" or termites can be quite heavy. They tend to go everywhere, lose their wings then start eating. Turn off all lights and close all doors/windows during this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MellowYellow Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 GerdWhat rainy days??? move to Nai Harn, its not raining here Arrrgh! I remember chatting with some Cockney expat in one of the Rawai beach bars a few moths ago telling me how Rawai bEach an Nai Harn hardly see the rain. At the time , I thought it was just pub chatter and humooure dhim. Is this really true? Or be it Island legend? Actually considering a move to Nai Harn soon (found a decent 2BR house to rent) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelepulse Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Those termites really freaked me out first time I saw 'em. It was like the End of Days or something. Nai Harn Rawai area sure seems to get less rain when it's the localized type. Yesterday's rain must have been from that typhoon that hit Burma. There have been many times when driving from the circle and heading into Rawai suddenly it's dry. From my house I can look towards Chalong and Phuket Town and can see rain there, but have sun in Rawai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
