Bugger! If only I had my camera on me today. I woke up this morning to total silence. No air con. No fan. No electricity. So I went into Rawai on the partly completed new road they are making...
... to find that workmen had lowered some of the telephone and power lines so that some were hanging very low and others were lying on the side of road.
At the end of a soi next to a 7-11, people on moto-cy's were ducking under these cables - and were kindly assisted by a workman who was treading on some cables that wouldn't lie flat while lifting the others so that they would slide gently over the heads of the riders.
The good news is I saw no bright flashes or dead bodies.
