What's Happening To The Weather In Bangkok?

[Jai Dee]

A mate took some photos of some incredible cloud formations yesterday and sent them to me.

[Crossy]

Echos of "Close Encounters" or "Independence Day".

Run for the hills, the Martians are coming !!!!!!!

[thaihome]

Wow, thunderstorms in Bangkok. Must be global warming.

Great pictures. Amazing also to see how low the cloud is. Are the pics front and back? If so, 'Independence Day' is right.

[samtam]

Agree, great pictures. Was watching myself the other evening, from a different area, (Sathorn). I presume this is from Chatuchak, or nearby. It was certainly ominous, with shades of "end of the world" etc. Perhaps if the dear leader had been here, and not in China, he might have seen it as a sign of his time being up, as he obviously believes in these things...

[WinnieTheKhwai]

That's amazing!! I love this season.

Saw it from my 17th floor window. Called the wife over to look. Very impressive. Great pictures. Thanks.

If this scene was in the USA mid-west, we'd all be running for the tornado shelters!

Yes you are right. This hit the area pretty quickly too and made me a swimming pool in the upstairs bedroom as I forgot to close the window

Those pictures looked fake to me.

Jimjim:

I can state 100% they are true cause I have similar images on my mobile from Sukhumvit around the same time. Anyways, if someone was gonna pull a prank, surely they could come up with something more exciting than storm clouds.

[Wolfie]

Who farted?

That was me, sorry!

[Jimjim]

I'm not saying they were fake, I'm saying they looked fake. They do look quite unreal that's why it's all the more amazing that they were real, apparently. No need to be patronizing by talking about pranks.

[nisboy]

Can almost see my house in that second pic.

[whitethai]

Those pictures looked fake to me.

Exactly!!!!!!!!

Funny white bit in middle is strange you think????????

What's the point then about saying they looked fake? Talk about patronizing.

Wow, never seen anything like that. Wish I had been there, I could have got my sign up, 'WELCOME HOME'
