samuijimmy Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 Lots of rain, it's the wind with it that kills me. It blows your hair off ? Pretty calm around Maenam this morning, even the sun is trying to come out, roads not too flooded, ( a few inches in spots, late yesterday)..... but we are waiting for the water to flow down from Sticky's area on Soi 5....that could change things!!!

samuijimmy Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 ^ Yeah that was getting confusing Pleased we have another photographer, thanks Mole! I would not want to head down that way! Sorry for the poor merchants and people living down that way around the Doa Market... not fun... I rushed to get some washing on the line, now just hope the sun stays long enough to dry it ! This was down at Maenam beach at the end of Soi 4 yesterday, lots of sediment coming from the river.. but not as rough as some areas... after looking at the web cam! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamuiRes Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Massive lightning strike just now in Bangrak - all our lights went out and then came back on - surprised it did not blow the surge protector. My wife said she saw the strike somewhere over towards the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 Wow! A real mixed bag of weather today! Wind, rain, sunny, more wind and the surf is really up along the north coast... All Lomprayah and Lomlaurk boats have been moved to Nathon, and any of their boats coming from Chumpon, KT and KP will be headed to Nathon pier until it clams down... View looking across to KP... it's probably as bad over there! ^ Do not try swimming in the rough waters... waves coming in to fast and furious! This was earlier today down near Chinese temple in Maenam ... not so bad!.... then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samuijimmy Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 Looking at the web cam, http://www.samuiwebcam.com/crystal_bay_koh_samui.html it looks pretty bad.... Wind is blowing pretty good around me... and surf sounds loader than late yesterday afternoon! I am not venturing out to go look! I think, anyone planning on traveling on ferry or plane, can probably expect delays... Speed boat tours to outer islands have been cancelled... Button down the hatches and watch for falling coconuts! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the cost of a return to Penang? An early booking with Fireflyz gets you a "free" ticket, you only pay taxes & airport fees; ~3,000 baht for a return trip. Only trouble is, the flights are right now so spaced that I end up spending 2 nights in Penang. Beats the train anyhow.

samuijimmy Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 Well don't try it around the Ban Por beach PS>>> this is what is was like this morning !!! Very high tides! Along where the one way goes through Nathon. Seas calmer but still high!!! Ferries seemed to be arriving at least... At least no rain, (yet !!!) today.... roads pretty good between Maenam and Nathon, the odd puddle.... and weather calm at Samui Immigration! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngThong Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I was a bit bummed when I hiked to Bottle Beach on KPG the other day - virtually everything was boarded up. Only the resort in the middle (BB1?) was open, but I guess it makes sense when the high tides cover pretty much the entire beach. Not much fun sitting at a restaurant with waves lapping against your feet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
