huahinjoe Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Horrible winds at Northern Phuket. Planes can not land to the Phuket airport and are now circling around. Yeah violent winds, that messy storm arrived so fast we were just looking on the Patong webcam... Their daily timelapse show on youtube not too bad but might worth an upgrade to real HD someday if its possible. Other then that It's a great prediction tool at this time of the year for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) It's called Dead Reckoning. Knowing your position at the beginning and then using various methods to calculate speed and course during the journey to the final destination. Before the advent of GPS, all navigation was done this way. Edited June 17, 2015 by KarenBravo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Thanks for the term. I understand the concept, but was quite amazed it's still used on those transponders. I'll put Oriental Thai to my no-fly list. You mean it wasn't on your no-fly list before? You know that flight OG-269 which crashed in Phuket was previously called One-Two-Go airlines. They changed the name after the crash to Orient Thai. Before One-Two-Go, they were called Thai Orient. They are banned from European airspace due to sub-standard safety.

I call it one-2-crash. Not long after that deadly crash I had to fly up to Bangkok on an emergency, first flight out was that one-2-crash airline. I took it, but never again.

KarenBravo Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) When they were Thai Orient they used to fly Phuket to Utapao with a short stop in Don Muang. I flew twice with them in the early nineties. The plane was a Boeing 727. It was so old that all the passenger seats were covered in real leather and the windows had curtains. The pilot was an old American fella. Fantastic pilot. You wouldn't even know you landed until you were taxiing. The touch-down was that smooth.

LivinginKata Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Yeah i noticed the rain radar is down for 4 days, probably it got leaked in the big rain?!? http://www2.tmd.go.th/radar/pkt120Loop.php Seems to back up and working again this morning.

LivinginKata Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I wish they would remove all that clutter on the rain radar (especially 240 Km range) at the airport. The north west side always shows 'rain' clutter. Been like that since it came back on line a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenl Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Squalling in Rawai ! Kata as well but only for about 2 minutes. Much more to come today and the next days though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And from the rain clutter you see off the coast, then it goes sort of blank, worthless. Been using a different accuweather radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsetBkk Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Must say that it's been a shity weather week + .... very depressing. Electric/internet/cable Tv not so reliable. My internet has been OK, but my digital cable has gone screwy, showing various messages on all channels.

Old Croc Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Huge storm started about 0500am. Heaps of close lightning woke all, had the dogs trying to squeeze under the bed and tripped our new surge protector switch. Still pissing down, pool's overflowing, and I just checked the web cams for Patong and Karon - both are white outs with the solid rain. Rain predicted for another three days.

Pomthai Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 402 near Sapham School south bound several power poles have or are in the process of falling across the road. I was northbound luckily. Looks like they are going to have to close at least 2 possibly all lanes southbound to fix it. There's a landslide and a wall down too. Traffic is building already. Avoid if you can.

Old Croc Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) The Phuket flight radar makes interesting viewing right now. Several planes have been circling for some time and traffic is really stacking up. The flight from Chiang Mai has just done a U turn and is heading away. Now circling over Phang Nga. http://panphuket.com/flightradar Edited August 3, 2015 by Old Croc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
