How's the rainy season with you?

**Mandaloopy** · 27-09-2023, 11:18 AM

Well, wet...obviously. But this year it seems quite heavy in Samut Prakan, what was once a poorly constructed pavement has now started to wash away, leading to an interesting walk to work if there are no bikes about or you miss the baht bus. It only seem to ever rain when I am leaving work or wanting to go out for dinner. There have been some nice sunny days to break it up.

It was late coming. Now it is here full on. The local rice paddies and farmers' ponds are overflowing. No flooding though. We had a few dry days, I cut some grass, then the rain returned yesterday at breakfast and I think it has continued, sometimes heavier and sometimes lighter, for about 30 hours. It looks like it is thinking of stopping. Not what I think of as typical rainy season.

We had a storm blow through on Monday night here in the Gulf of Thailand.

It’s been ok since.

Nice pix
Having grown up in damp Celtic fringes a spot of rain is a joy esp as drying and warm alawyas follow here.

Had a few showers that cool the streets dogs most days sunny , swimming 28 in lost gardens of Lanna.

For me an ideal climate, A superblock home a few fans,. the locals vanish as if made of paper on the slightest rain so the odd run to 7-11.ATM or markets traffic free, my nearest town has one functioning traffic light i think and dogs sleep in the sois as grannies bong away.

The joys of ah the lazy acre, for all the splendours of Paris, Czechia, Hawaii, Scotland Florida Denmark and Sweden cannot fid anywhere better to decay. Santa Barbara( Father Christmas' wife) ok if minted and the far west of most European places Jylland , Bergen, Uist, Arran Isles, Connemara, Brittany Galica etc

Seems quite light here in the Jomtien side of Patters so far. There have been several days where it looked like a downpour was imminent but it never happened.

**OhOh** · 27-09-2023, 10:00 PM

Six out of seven days heavy down pours.

The Durian trees are loving it.

**qwerty** · 28-09-2023, 07:28 AM

In Bangkok I see lots of clouds, but very little rain.

**misskit** · 28-09-2023, 07:31 AM

Same here. Occasional heavy rain but nothing for days in between. Quite dry for a rainy season.

**cyrille** · 28-09-2023, 11:03 AM

Looks like it's going to rain pretty steadily all day out here to the east of CM.

Glad I got my visa stuff done yesterday.

Your dry wit is essential

**misskit** · 29-09-2023, 10:02 AM

Sheesh. What a downpour. I was ready to go out today but forget that!

I spoke too soon. Apart from a couple of sunny hours yesterday it has rained pretty steadily for three days until about 10 a.m. today. The sky is gray and the ground is waterlogged, the garden is a big muddy puddle.

**spliff** · 29-09-2023, 12:35 PM

Rains about as much as it doesn't rain here. Have some flooding.

**Edmond** · 29-09-2023, 02:03 PM

Is there a way to prop up an ever slanting extended bathroom? preferably with a drill and or hammer.

It will prop back up when the ground hardens, right.

**qwerty** · 29-09-2023, 02:07 PM

In Bangkok we have lots of threatening clouds... that usually just pass overhead on their way to someplace else. We have had the odd rainy night though.

Good luck with that. My guess is you will need to tear it down, bring in the pile driver for piling and then rebuild it. What happened with our kitchen. Once it starts to subside new piling and reconstruction is the only way to save it, imho.

2 years ago.

What kind of "villa" did you buy if the bathroom is falling off the house?
