Maybe more of a 'mai pen rai' moment...lol. I remember how a BKK shopkeeper friend would close up shop for a month in monsoon season every year, shave his head and go off to a jungle monastery to be a temporary monk. That's an idea we could use!!
You just can't go wrong with a country whose favorite holiday is a nationwide water fight, eh!! I knew I was home...💖 Thanks for the great pics and post!!!
one more that I share w/ people having 1st world problems...
When the river began flowing like a waterfall over a wall into Chantana Srisuwan's wooden-shack kitchen, the 58-yr-old pulled out a stack of aluminum pans, soaped them up and began washing them. "Why bother being troubled?" she asked. "if we think we shouldn't get wet, we'll never have peace of mind," she said, as a neighbor complained he could not sleep because his bed was submerged beneath encroaching waves. "If there's no water, great. But if there is, we have to learn to live with it."
My money goes to that massive undersea volcano that vaporized massive amounts of water and increased the moisture in the upper atmosphere an unprecedented in human observation 13%.
They claim rain is expected through Tuesday. Currently it is not raining and has not been for about three hours though. That's nice. Water will recede acceptably with just 1-3 days of good weather and will recede to near normals with a week of sun. There just haven't been many breaks...
Not to the same degree as you are experiencing, at least not in my area, but we have been getting a lot of rain recently in Japan. Parts of Tokyo were flooded a couple of times this past few weeks. Snow in Mexico a while back and in Italy these past few days. The weather is weird, no one has much of a clue to base any predictions on as the amount of moisture suddenly thrown up into the atmosphere has no historical precedent in human experience, that we know of. All that I have read by those who student for the purpose of understanding rather than to promote once version or another of human agency being behind it say that they expect 2-4 years of unusually hot and wet summers and cold and wet winters. Other than that, it’s anyone’s guess as to what the totality of effects this volcanic eruption will have on the climate. Whatever it is, it is exceeds by far whatever our puny effects are.
You could always try escaping to sunny Cha Am for a few days. We are the Eastbourne of Thailand and must have one of the lowest rainfalls in Thailand - at least from my experience of having lived in this lovely little, still very typically Thai, resort for more than twenty years. Hope the rain stops soon for you and yours - and that you've got plenty of mosquito repellant ready for the insect population explosion which will inevitably follow!
We're planning a trip to Bangkok this week. At this point I'm missing the always sunny desert in Las Vegas. That said it's starting to feel like I have to go anywhere that is not here if I want to see the sun again!
I was in downtown Anchorage Alaska during St Patrick's day of 2002. The city got 28.6 inches of snow in about 24 hours! The weather forecast had simply called for light rain or possibly flurries. Looking down from my hotel room, I saw 3 road graters in a row trying to keep the streets clear.
Hell of a downpour here in Portland yesterday, dumped for half an hour, more rain fell in that period than I have seen in a long time, years. They have also been chemtrailing a ridic amount, sky looked like a football game analysis on chalkboard, last few days.

Crikey, Phuket always gets hit hard. Hope you can avoid the worst of it and battle through Amy.
So far so good!

Thank you for that information! I have not read about this one..
Pretty much a media black out as it competes with their preferred cause for every weather related.
The volcano is either called Hunga Tonga or is near a place of that name.
Otherwise, how is the out look there? Is more rain expected before the water recedes?

Isn't it Thailand where many former US military personnel retire?
