Whoever has been bribed, it was successful. Just about 1 hour of rain, and Nanai River in Patong is back again. All the great plans about pump-stations and all that, just forget it. Nothing changed, same cr@p as before the dry season.

Well serves the tessabaan right for putting a storm drain through someones property without asking.. Now the guys blocked it and wants 20m to unblock it (so the local gossip says).

Well someone needs to turn the pumps on, not sure they planned on that.

Tonights electrical storm: Lighting so close it kicks the main breaker in my house at 0:22.

Sound travels at 343 meters per second, and that thunder was almost exactly 1 second behind the flash. Pretty close. I felt like I was in a war zone for 20 minutes.

Stangely, the smaller stream on the way to Karon, just past Simon Cabaret has dried up since it rained! This foul smelling leak or whatever has run for two years continuously until the other day.

Go to love Patong.

I remember that foul smelling creek back in 2001. I noticed that on occasion is does dry out regardless of having recent rain or not. Strange.
