Khao Lak Weather May 25

With beautiful weather and our new website ...www.liveaboardguide.com I have to say that I am Sorry about the delay in weather postings.
Distracting being too sunny and too hot.

But a couple of really nice days. Actually it was a bit on the hot side. 33-34 (92-95) tends to be hot here on the equator. AND muggy. We stayed in the shop with Air-Con and wouldn't leave for any reason.

The sea has been flat as a pancake, and more and more happy divers coming off the Similans. Still running daytrips!


With the recent rain things are VERY green. Too much growth. After mentioning to the landlord that we had trouble finding our house with all the weeds he sent in some "people" to fix it. They wandered around our house spraying some chemical that killed every plant it came into contact with. So I had to keep the animals inside - in fear that they would turn brown and fall over.

Check out the new Wicked site, redesigned and ready to go. The Swedish site will be up shortly after some translation.

Remember that our booking site is online www.liveaboardguide.com

Another great day in paradise! It really is a shame no one is here to enjoy this. Luscious Saturday afternoon.

Even the diving has returned to normal! Reports are coming back of 30M+ visibility and amazing fishlife.

Just goes to show that the best time to visit is the "worst" time to visit.

New website should be up tonight! check it out

Khao Lak Weather May 17, 2007 - great!

Well here is our sun again. Got warm too. It was lurking in the high 20's (low 80's) there for a few days, but it's back to warm weather again.

Had a nice day in Phuket looking at furnishings for our new Wicked Shop. Should be nice...we hope...

Lots o f online work. Trying to make the new site nice and smooth, so lots of little tinkering to make things nice for y'all.

Lots of changes in the year ahead.

Khao Lak Weather May 12th, 2007

So today we had a nice mix of weather. Bit of rain in the morning, then it cleared up and the dog took my for a walk. The beaches are gorgeous right now. In two hours of walking I passed a single person, a Burmese guy scavanging old fishing nets (they mend and sell them for extra cash).

But with clear skies and no one around we had a good romp.


Here's Baruce posing. He's turned into a "talker" and likes to howl and mumble about all sorts of the world's problems - not enough attention to dogs, not enough of the good food, water that is too cold, bathing....


Trying to update the site right now....www.wickeddiving.com

Khao Lak Weather May 10....

So here is a quick repost of the weather on May 8th...

Looks nice? Well....just a few hours later things changed...










Then the power went out for most of the night.
Pretty big bummer there.






So after a nice early morning respite from the weather, it started raining again yesterday, all day, and night and now.....


This has been going on for hours...

You'll notice our trash can being washed away.





So of course, everyone wanted out of the rain. So in walked one of these...it sure has the basics of a Praying Mantis, but who knows...still wouldn't want to find one in my socks...

Just another one for the bug collection....Picture collection that is...

New site rolling out...www.wickeddiving.com

and of course the very best site for liveaboards in the world...www.liveaboardguide.com

Khao Lak Weather May 5th 2007

Just got a nice picture of our sign and the sunset.

We've just had a couple of days of nice weather, and the beaches look nice too.

The weather turned for the better as the low-pressure system moved North to deluge them instead of us.

But we have a pretty grim forecast for diving in the next week - big waves...so it looks like this is it. A couple of boats will keep runnning, but really the season is over.

Of course I do have company...Saqueak prefers to sleep most of the day.

And actually it appears that she likes to sleep most of the night too...so I must rely on the dog Ba-Ruce to tend to my solitude...

Welll anyhow....

Khao Lak Weather May 1st 2007

Well, it seems to be the end of the sun. Just heaps of rain. But it's still warm. Very warm...33 (93) and the rain is still welcome. Of course the mold that started growing on the outside of the Fridge is a bit annoying. Or the fact that our street sign started growing a plant. But at least it's green.

Funny thing is the diving around Khao Lak is still really sweet. If we can just keep diving, then things are fine. The Similans are doing even better.


We'd also like to introduce the newest member of our family - Aom. She is our new shopstress. WIth a real inclination towards neatness and order, She will find herself busy around me and Karin.

We are also signing papers on our new shop in a day or two. So we'll have a big new shop with plenty of space outside for hanging out, talking diving crap and of course cold beers after diving! It's pretty busy time for us!

Yet, without so many visitors we tend towards the smaller tasks to keep busy. Like web design

Or you taking scooter lessons from the dog.

Ba-Ruce is a Thai dog, so he learned to drive a scooter at a very young age. We are currently working on "go fetch me a six pack of beer, get the laundry and pick up a paper". He's a bit slow on that skill, but man once he's on the scooter, he's a real terror to the cats!

We are still open, and chugging along.
