You may need that poncho more for Songkran than any rain at the moment.

Just out of curiosity, what areas are included in "upper" Thailand? Is that the same as Northern Thailand? Just wondering if I need to batten down the hatches in Chiang Mai. Thanks!

Yunnie, I've seen ponchos at Tesco and 7-11, and even some drug stores. They're usually near the cashiers, in the "oh yeah, I forgot I needed one of these" area Also, if you can find a pull-over style instead of one with snaps, get it! I learned a cold wet lesson the other day when we had 2 evenings of rain here in CM. My shirt front got quite damp. My back, however, was dry as a bone

I just want to make sure. I would hate to be riding on motorcycle and it starts raining and no poncho.

Thanks Sandie!!! I'll check 7 tomorrow after class.

Bought two gazebos the other day and fixed them on my fourth floor roof deck. Bring on the rain and storm! ...but, dear weather, please leave my gazebos intact.

Was pissing down for a good 2 or 3 hours in Buri Ram / Surin a couple of days ago. Looks like might be more on the way.

Nothing so far.

[SoMeOnEnUlL]

I like the weather in Bangkok, now. A bit chilly.. no rain. Maybe I am dreaming.

[johnnynmonic]

The weather has been unseasonably sabai here. Usually Sukhothai is ROASTING this time of year.
