forcebwithu Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Some rumbles now NE of Pattaya. Hope we get lucky and the storm moves into central Pattaya. We could do with a bit of rain to cool things down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forcebwithu Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Unfortunately yesterday's rumbles never made it to Pattaya. Might get some relief beginning of next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy me Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Extremely heavy thunder storm with strong winds for last hour here on Dark Side ( Khao Noi ). The usual flooding down town will happen with this kind of storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The usual flooding down town will happen with this kind of storm. I was driving back in the car from Pattaya around lunchtime yesterday when the heavens opened up. So heavy down to about 40mph and very difficult to see at all. Due to the roadworks the whole way to Bangsaray on the Sukhumvit road and the fact no drains are now operating there was soon localized flooding in various places. One was so bad I let the car in front of me get through before following him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forcebwithu Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Dark skies, thunder and lightening, and rain coming down in buckets. This is shaping up to be one of the wettest Aprils since moving here 13 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving back on Wednesday so I hope the Sukhumvit road is not flooded when I reach it. With all the new drains being put in it means there are effectively no drains currently on the Sukhumvit right down and past Bangsaray where I turn off.

happy me Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Torrential rain and high winds here on Khao Noi. I have been living here in Pattaya for 31 years and never seen April with so much rain. It has rained every day now for the last week ( at least in Dark Side). Temperatures have been mild for April also. Great to keep power bill down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passed by both Mabprachan and Huai Chak Nok this past week and they're looking far better than this time last year. Mabprachan because they're pumping water from the north into it. Don't know if they're doing the same at Huai Chak Nok. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forcebwithu Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 ^^^ Clever, but as a parent I cringe when I see kids doing stupid things on a motorbike. In this case not only blocking the rider's forward view, but underage for a license, riding in the rain with no helmets, and based on the condition of the road surface and markings, probably a busy highway. A disaster in the making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
