There are plenty of ups and downs to living here. We get so much nature it hurts. It's so green that I sometimes pine for the desert. I'm the only person that wears a helmet. Rent is less than $100 a month.
So today two joys of life here come to mind....we signed up for automatic billing of our phone lines. We were immediately cut off. It took 12 hours to get ourselves reconnected.
The other is today's weather forecast.....
"(BangkokPost.com) - An active southwest monsoon prevailed over the Andaman Sea, Thailand and the Gulf on Wednesday morning, bringing abundant rain throughout the country, according to the Meteorological Department.
There will be heavy rain in the following provinces -- Chiang Mai, Mae Hong Son, Lamphun, Lampang, Chiang Rai, Nan, Phrae, Uttaradit, Sukhothai, Tak, Rayong, Chanthaburi, Trat, Ranong, Phangnga, Phuket and Krabi.
The department warned that people should beware of flooding in the following a day or two.
Strong wind and wave is also likely in the Gulf and the Andaman Sea, it said.
Widespread thundershowers with isolated heavy rain are also expected in Bangkok."
The only problem....we've been sitting under these monsoons for two days and they just moved away today. As you can see from the picture. So our weather forecasters are almost 100% correct as the use the old - hindsight method of forecasting. They wait until after the weather has passed, then issue the prediction.
