Ha ha - fuck that.

Fairly dry 100 kms west of Khon Kaen, the occasional shower. Hoping to play 18 holes in the morning

rain is spotting again - like the drivel off battyboos lips as he thinks about the new sony hee to mee

^mai ow; me smaaaaar phooooooo neung lao...

I hope my cats are safely inside; didn't realize until a few minutes ago that you are at the start of a 4 day storm...

Flooding no doubt on the way...

It's pretty dry here, sat on my balcony bollock naked watching the world go by

Absolutely pissing down near savannakhet route 28a flooded in sections, i was supposed to go back to work yesterday but the plane couldnt fly, good result, sitting in vientiane waiting it out now, probably end up on the afternoon flight to savannakhet though where its forecast to continue and probably get stuck there again, all this weather is coming from vietnam apparently

Rained all night in Pattaya, but amounts to only 9mm since midnight. Very dry wet season this year here. No flooding for 3 months.

All night
left home 5.30 to avoid the traffic
roads flooded around srinakarin/ramkamhaeng

Got some standing water on the property and it's still raining. Called in for a truck to bring me 5 cubes of sand to distribute around the low spots. Amazing how dirt continues to settle in this country.

Trang province south of Krabi..over-caste and drizzle..bit of a downpour last night while cutters busy...looking at cups don't seem to have lost any latex ..yet.
Cut some grass around the house yesterday...think it has grown back already..

A couple of my mature Papaya trees went down last night. They get too top-heavy and over they go - weak root system.

Funny how we go through this exercise just about every year......first they are banging on about drought and the dried up dams.....seed the clouds...invoke the rain spirits... and a week or two later everybody's reporting that it's pissing down and we have to launch the boats to push the flood water out with their props.....

Rained pretty much all night long here (outside nong Bunmak) stopped for the moment but looks like it ain't over yet. We live on a high spot so the village doesn't flood thank Buddha.

Cloudy here in Laos

We always get more rain than most, tropical rain forest and mountains, boring time of year.
Only one road in or out, 3 bridges, the first one is impassible, water is that high you can't see where the bridge is or was.
Now comes the big problem, only one other village accessible from here [maybe] and this village ran out of beer last night. Jim

Non-stop trickle here in Pattaya for 3 days with the occasional heavy downpour normally during the night.

My klong, running through my land is about half full and I hope it stays that way.

400 mm downstairs last night. Got everything upstairs just in time. It came up quick.

High tide seemed to be about 2 am. Power cut at 4 am.

Been receding all day but water is still high. Thunderstorms predicted again tonight.

Hopefully not as bad

Got out before and stocked up on essentials. Sitting on the verandah with the gas cooker and a whiskey

Have you ever though about moving off the flood plain?......I would. I hate 400mm of water in the living room.. Hope you get dried out soon....

Somchai rice miller filled in the rice paddies out back of the moobarn, where the water flows through . Not sure that ppeople will understand what he has done.

People are talking about a dam that broke in si saket and they expect water to head to surin and sangkha. Does anyone know anything about it ? Does google earth show that this is where the water will come ? my internet at the moment is not fast enough to look at the topography myself.
