Thailand faces monsoons, rainstorms, and earthquakes

BANGKOK, 9 June 2014 (NNT) - Three provinces in different parts of Thailand have recently been affected by a monsoon, a rainstorm, and an earthquake.

Thousands of dead crabs have been mysteriously washed ashore at Pa Lai Beach in Phuket province on June 8th due to monsoon winds. Following this phenomenon, a lot of fishermen were afraid to set sail onto the Andaman Sea.

In Phitsanulok Province, a heavy rainstorm and gusty winds have destroyed roofs of several homes in a local village. Damages were estimated to be at around 50,000 baht. Local authorities are set to deliver remedial measures to help residents affected by the storm.

Meanwhile, a 1.9 magnitude aftershock was detected at Mae Suai district, Chiang Rai province at 9:35 PM on June 8th. Another 2.3 magnitude aftershock followed two hours later in Mae Lao District.

However, these aftershocks were believed to have occurred due to an earthquake in Myanmar Province measuring 5.3 on the Richter Scale, rather than the one that struck Chiang Rai on May 5th. The quake in Myanmar was about 195 kilometers away from Mae Hong Son Province.

Settle down, have some tea and nice bisquet, you will be alright.

Time to get the monks involved for a blessing, the sky is falling

Thailand faces monsoons, rainstorms, and earthquakes

Amazing.

Is this a new phenom or has it been like this for centuries but no-one has noticed?

Indeed it is yet again plain that someone somewhere is stating the obvious.

Just put on your amulet of invincibility.

'Monsoons' (sic), rainstorms and earthquakes in a tropical country sitting on minor fault lines are not really all that surprising. And crabs? Quite common here I'm told, especially in Sodom and Gomorra..... or Pattaya and Phuket as they are more commonly known here.

However if inordinate numbers frogs or locusts make an appearance then you can really start to worry.

I think it is a new phenomena brought on by the advent of Thai Visa.

It is a direct result of the negative energy coming from certain posters going into the ground.

On the positive side the sky is not falling.

Why don't they put out a widow's red underwear on a bamboo stick?

Maybe that only works to ward off bad weather from important things like weddings.

No mention of floods, the biggest disasters that happen in thailand all too often.

But mentioning them publicly is now stricly no no, as there are no anymore water management works being carried on for sometimes, possibly a long time. Bangkok will be saved again, but only the eastern one, with airports, metro, skytrain. The western will be flooded again. Don't be not surprised to wake up in october with a hand in a chamber pot full of water

Monsoon rains,in the wet season! Whatever next.

I'm still bracing for the lashing rain we were told to expect from 3rd to 6th June. I guess "lashing rain" means different things to different people ... including "continued hot and arid." Do you need a prescription for a "bisquet," or are you promoting Mexican cuisine?

"But mentioning them publicly is now stricly no no ..."

And yet here you are mentioning them publicly.

"Don't be not surprised to wake up in october with a hand in a chamber pot full of water "

Nothing don't be not surprising me anymore here at the hub of the inane, but chamber pots in October would come close.

Sometimes the responses are gems of wisdom, information, education or humor. Perhaps tomorrow.

More evidence the guy in Dubai is paying off God. His influence goes far and wide.

i wish we had some rain in surin

Just put on your amulet of invincibility.

If you don't have one, you can no doubt purchase as many as you wish from you neigbourhood Monks.

Something for everyone, depending on how much protection you need, the quality of that protection and of course....how much you are willing to invest.

Local authorities, puu...and so , yes that is where the corruption starts at the bottom and painfully harm the poor!

...warning in ADVANCE would be better...?

I am going to Phuket at the end of June?

Will I need wellies?

....crabs do NOT rush into the shore because of monsoon winds.......who thought that gem up?

Next we will have the four horsemen of the apocalypse thundering down Walking Street.

....crabs do NOT rush into the shore because of monsoon winds.......who thought that gem up?

And crabs are more likely to be a problem in the likes of Pattaya?

somebody offended the spirits, time for a ceremony or 2

If anything the rain has been easing off in Petchabun province,after heavy storms in april and may.
