webfact Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Thailand faces monsoons, rainstorms, and earthquakesBANGKOK, 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.-- NNT 2014-06-09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siampolee Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bigbamboo Posted June 9, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) '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. Edited June 9, 2014 by bigbamboo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oryx816 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonthai Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) 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 Edited June 9, 2014 by londonthai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Settle down, have some tea and nice bisquet, you will be alright. 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? http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/731024-heavy-rains-set-to-lash-most-parts-of-thailand/?p=7918257&hl=%2Blashing Edited June 9, 2014 by Suradit69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
