What Do You Do When It Rains?

[simon43]

Well, it looks like it is going to rain for the next 6 months....

When it rains heavily, my hotel staff switch off the TV because they are scared of lightening strikes.

The internet connection usually stops working cos the TOT cables get wet!

We sit for 6 months and look at the wet customers...

What do you do to past your time on these very wet days?

enjoy the cool weather mate..that's what I do. Interestingly, since I had a new UBC dish installed a few months ago, I have not lossed my picture at all during the recent heavy downpours.

curious, what kind of hotel do you stay in that shuts off the tv?

[fred2007]

What I do? get all the plastic sheets covers out and pots and pans to protect my furniture and everthing else in the house since I got my house build by an Thai tradesmen?

One that is staffed by highly superstitious Issan folk who obvious believe that lightening can hit an underground TV cable .....

Hotels that did not install proper grounding and lightning arrestors.

Well, there's often a brief power cut here 'down the Nut' so the computer (with TV stick) goes off, so I make sure I'm not doing anything essential that I can't stand to lose - expecting it to happen any second now as it's just started to heave it down outside. Other than that, as I'm alone at the moment, I have a few cheap rechargeable torches from Tesco scattered around to tide me over and a small collection of Thai language books to amuse myself with.

[MidoriApple]

Do as usual...but really wish to go get sleep...

I love driving when it rains...no motorbikes and less cars..

Umm..wondering..what if it will rain in Songkran day...how it will be fun?

the rains and winds have been bad the past few days, and its staring again as I write, the past two days we have had 4 hour blackouts, and this morning when I went to run at mo chit park, it looked like the park had been hit by a hurricane with large palm trees snapped and even larger trees uprooted and snapped branches of trees all over the place, I saw at least 4 uprooted large trees and the palm tree had snapped near its base and fell into the lake

[kennkate]

Have not seen any rain in my Village Nr Lamphun since Boxing day.

So when it comes I intend to go outside and get Absolutely Soaking Wet

We were in Bangkok March 17th and missed it.

The guy (True Internet) who came to install ADSL Internet to my wife's house upcountry advised - shut down the computer and disconnect when you see storm or rain clouds gathering.

They do that with land line phone, TV and everything. All unplugged from the wall.

[Mosha]

Read a book, and incidentally are there any others here who's wife and friends wait for the thunder clap before they risk a mad dash through the rain.

[phazey]

Turning stuff off in a storm is a good idea in Thailand - I'm yet to see a properly earthed pad.

Me?

Wash my smalls.....

I am similar to Fred. I run around covering and picking things up, coz the back of my house is very low and floods, I stand with mop & bucket waiting for the waves - if the rain is not too heavy or not a very long time, all is ok.

work like ever minute not sleeping as not retired
