NAKHON SI THAMMARAT, Nov 10 -- Heavy downpours continue in several southern provinces while authorities here will declare the province a disaster zone after floodwater flowed into the city suburbs before dawn Sunday.

Fabulous weather here in Pattaya! I have been on the beach all afternoon sunbathing on the rocks with some " cool tunes " not a cloud in the sky and with a gentle breeze ... " fabulous " F.J x

Happens every year, makes the news every year.

Indeed, and if it didn't the headlines would be bewailing a drought.

I have never really understood what is so fabulous about sunny skies. It is boring, and it is hot. Clouds, storms, rain, wind, now that is great weather. Guess I spent too many years in Los Angeles, which has some of the flattest, more boring weather in the world. My friends would always say what a beautiful day it was, and I would ask why? Because it is sunny?

I love the sunshine and the " outdoor lifestyle " that Thailand offers! (and 20 years living in the Canary islands before) Nice long 15 km daily walks in the morning sun followed by afternoons on the beach.... Love it!
