Heavy rains set to lash most parts of the country

Gotta hand it to the General. Not only can he restore order, clean up the police, tackle corruption, actually have people arrested and bring peace to Thailand but it seems he even managed to delay the rainy season until everyone was ready. The man is a miracle worker.

I wonder if he'd fancy a month in Brazil in charge of the England team?

A month in charge of the FA and FIFA would be good.

Bring on the rain ...... pleeeeeeeze.

Up here north of Chiang Mai we have had the wettest summer I remember in eight years. Last two years we had to water the lawn like crazy, but this year we broke out the hose about four times. Today, the Mae Taeng River is running very, very high from the rains over the past few days. No shortage of water up here!

I have been hearing we are going to get rains for the past 3 weeks, but have yet to see any significant amount of rain. I guess sooner or later they are bound to get it right.

I agree. Someone had to step in.

I know that many will not agree, but at least now there is "someone" actually doing something.

The other clowns had their chance and many warnings.

This is a clean up act to try to restore some some balance and order.

Did it have to take the Military to do it? Most certainly. Otherwise what?

He is a "Miracle Worker" .... in my opinion.

Lucky you.In Hang Dong,south, we have had rain but missed out on the really heavier falls,its so location unpredictable,no doubt it is coming.I noticed yesterday the Ping River is well up so guess up stream you have been getting far more than us.I guess soon we will be commenting about flooding.

[leggo]

haven't had a drop for ages in Rayong and nothing so far to -day - it's actual making me behave like an idiot -keep looking out the window and praying for a storm!
