I don't follow CM weather (I should) but does anyone know when this rain is going to stop?

3:15 am tonight.

On the 12th October they were trying to make rain. They must have succeeded.

On a more serious note, Loi Kratong usually marks the end of the wet season.

Usually by the middle of November but can never be quite sure. This week could be the last for several months.

Enjoy it while it lasts. It's not exactly the bone chilling, freezing, driving rain that gets you down, that I grew up with. You'll be wishing for rain in a few months time.

I'm fine with the rain. I just need to get out to the beer shop before closing time : )

Carry an umbrella

When will the rain stop?, then When will the cold nights stop?, then When will the heat stop?, then When will the smoke stop?, then When will the pollution stop?, then When will the winds begin?, then When will the rain begin?, then When will the heat begin?

Either a lucky guess or a weather forecasting genius - the last few drops at 03:13 !

Dry season does nor mean totally dry. It means that it does not rain much. Raining every once in a while is perfectly normal.

10-day forecast is 50-80% chance of rain....everyday.

I'm singing in the rain
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feelin'
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin',
Singin' in the rain

There must be a complaint for everything that happens in Thailand.

Since it is so bad here, why are you not still living in the paradise you came from?

It's not a silly reply, nor is it an inane post.

For dissatisfied misfits who are always complaining, the advice to "go home", or find someplace that is more congenial to them is the obvious solution to their problems.

That applies whether they've been here three days, three months, or thirty years.

Nothing personal. I think Gonsalviz was talking about chronic complainers in general. I know I was.

So now you call them misfits..nice..

Somehow coming here 30 years ago , learning the language having families here running business etc., and not flying in at 60 years of age , with all the preconceptions and opinions and non flexibility that 60 years of western experience brings, on a cheap flight. I very much doubt those of us who came here earlier are misfits.we came because we liked the place.. Not because it was a cheaper place or to find a wife.

As a judgemental person you will have problems here, people have a right to complain ..wherever they are, and for how long they have been here .

Why are you here some misfit from back home .,?

Don't think the op is a dissatisfied misfit always complaining.

But there are others, some even complain about the complainers.

Still pouring down in Pai this morning. As much rain in the last 3 days as any in the season.

Been raining non-stop in Sansai since about 11:00 A.M. Wednesday. Don't think it stopped even for an hour. Went out for dinner last night and there was lots of sellers with sad faces. Lots of kids in costume with make up running down their faces. Some in tears. Not a single kom loy in the sky on Loy Krathong.

Too bad we didn't have this rain earlier in the season when it was so hot and dry.

Luv the rain. Mild and wet, just perfect. Easy on my eyes too, i like that. It's the brilliant, high radiation, tropical sunshine i do not fancy at all. And i also like to see the green leaves so varied and lush; only possible with the RAIN.

I can understand the other folk who do prefer the sunny days, one of the attractions of T'land over Scotland for sure.

Walk a mile in my mocs, and you will learn why some people luv the rain.

re

a few managed to get up just before 9 last night but if this rain carries on much lomger a lot of people who set up stalls by the river to make kratongs to sell , food etc are going to loose some serious baht this year

No doubt they lost a lot of money last night.

My ducks are loving it.

Serious money and a packed house at B&B on the moat lastnight for the show. One mans loss os anothers gain.

Unbelievable!!! Besides changing everything else in Chiang Mai (the things that make Chiang Mai so attractive to everyone moving here), now people want to change the weather, which, apparently, is no problem for local citizens.

Who said they want to change the weather.

Have you ever heard the term "banter"? Thats what this and most other threads are about in the long run.
