Thailand Rainy Season

November 12th, 2008 at 11:48pm

Too much water – that has been my welcome back to Thailand. It has been bucketing down from the heavens for days now, not a nice gentle peaceful rain, but more the torrential tropical down pour style. It’s kind-of fun for an hour or so when you are inside and dry, but after that the sounds becomes deafening and it is impossible to get out and about so the novelty wears off quickly. You have to plan your day around the rain. When it lets up, you dash out to get food or run errands but never without the umbrella and rain jacket because it can come back at any moment!!

So I am happy to be back and out the the North American approaching winter, but just wishing for some sun and warmth! It will come…eventually. In the meantime I’m trying to keep on top of the mold situation inside my bungalow, which is pretty near impossible, and waiting patiently with the Thais for this to be over! Yesterday was Loy Kratong, the full moon and sign of the end of the rainy season so according to the locals the rain should stop. Should.

Hey, it is the tropics, and part of being in the tropics is living with the rain.
