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 :D

I need to get a rain coat poncho thing then.... gah. Now to find where to buy them.

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

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.
