the rain is back big time but no wind this time, at least on the west coast of KPN.

what's happening in samui?

It's raning off and on here, heavy, then light, then nothing. Wind seems to come and go too. The sky is a nasty shade of grey and I've got the lights on inside. Is there any news on the weather? I heard on the news that Had Yai was flooded again as of this morning. Got no idea the direction the weather is going right now.

St Josephs were telling all the students that there was going to be another lot of flooding last week, but that doesn't seem to have happened. Not very responsible of the teachers to get the kids all worked up if you ask me.

Hi,

I'll be going to Samui next week. Looks like the wet weather condition has prolonged. So during this raining period, do the shops/markets in Chaweng area still open for business (especially after the flood).

Btw, which part of the day does the rain usually come.

Cheers.

Does this new thread mean that we should close the old one ?

God its like being in England - lots of people with nothing better to talk about but the weather

Just jesting

.....anyway on a different note - not much is happening on Samui, although the sky looks a little bit grey over yonder towards Koh Phangan. Please dont send it over our way

Well, it rained heavily in the afternoon and roads are being flooded again, it's dark and grey.

hmmm. it's pretty bad in thong nai pan (KPG) again, and it's supposed to last another week? yikes.

Mother Nature shows her fury in 3 Pattani districts

The Nation

Published on Dec 02 , 2005

Three districts in Pattani province were declared natural-disaster zones yesterday after flash floods inundated almost 2,000 homes on Thursday night, a local official said yesterday. Continuous heavy downpours on Thursday caused flash-floods from Sai Khao and Sankalakiri mountains, culminating in 222 millimetres of rainwater in some areas on Thursday night.

Officials said 1,714 homes and 500 rai of farmland were inundated, affecting over 6,000 people.

Pinyo Pannui, an official at the provincial Disaster Prevention and Mitigation office, said Khok Pho, Nong Chik and Muang districts had been declared natural-disaster zones and would be eligible for disaster-relief funds. He said the Pattani River was on the verge of overflowing its banks yesterday and waterside houses would probably become flooded if the rains continued.

Meanwhile Deputy Prime Minister Suchai Charoenratanakul visited Koh Samui yesterday to try and prevent a third round of flooding on the Surat Thani resort island. He said December was the high season and Samui was currently hosting 20,000 tourists.

Low-lying areas in Surat Thani province's districts of Chai Buri, Phrasaeng, Wiang Sa, Ban Na San and Khian Sa remain flooded as the rains continue. The Ta Pi River rose to 5.7 metres at noon yesterday, said provincial weather forecaster Surachai Rattanarangsan.

The Meteorological Department issued a warning of possible heavy to torrential rain in the South until Sunday. As the low pressure remains over Chumphon, Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phatthalung, Songkhla, Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat, Krabi, Trang and Satun provinces, the weather bureau urged residents to watch for flash-floods and overflows.

Winds on the Gulf of Thailand have strengthened and caused waves two to three metres high. Fishermen have been warned to be cautious, and small boats should not venture out until Thursday, the report said.

Probably all Mickey Mouse provinces and not worthy to visit.

Flash floods must be an invention from these Mickey Mouse governments in mentioned provinces.

I rather stay in Tokyo.

really, looks like a lake from my viewpoint!

how are the roads on samui? i'm planing to cove over this afternoon, should i bring my scuba gear?

Well I have just got into the office after a nightmare morning in Lamai. Bike cut out just after the temple (near Scooter bar) as the water is waist high there. The to top it off some idiot came through so fast they knocked us over and smashed my mirror

So after fixing that, then doing some off road manouvers to get up to Chaweng, all is fine - funny, everywhere else was fine, not too much water. Just that one bit in Lamai

Retail therapy always works for me

You could be freezing with the heat on and surrounded by people running around making themselves crazy with X-Mas shopping

I'd rather be with you guys in the rain.
