Hi all, Thailand is a tropical country so the rain is ... well ... tropical. It falls in sheets - I need to use all those old cliches to describe really heavily falling rain!
It is spectacular - from inside your apartment. You really don't want to be caught out in it as it soaks you in seconds. During the rainy season (we're near the end now) it can rain every day or not. No real pattern. But it's impressive, and I love it, just not in the evening on the way to school for a meeting.
The most odd thing about it is that it's warm. In the UK you're cold in the rain, here you stay warm, which never ceases to amaze me.
I moved with my family to Bangkok in July 2005. What do I do? I make hats and costumes; I’ve written articles, a novel and a non-fiction book is underway… I've held a variety of volunteer positions within the expat community.
Tea stains is where I write and illustrate the things that consume me: life in Thailand, shop windows, books, cats, making, hats, fascinators, tea and the colour orange.

Unbelievable!
It's a shocker, isn't it? At 6.30pm it wasn't raining. This is what it looked like at 8.30pm.
Wow, my pre-conceived idea of Thai weather has been dashed!

my god - didnt think you had weather like that. That looks more like Cornwall!
It reminds me of streets in Buenos Aires! Has the rain stopped now? Are you afloat?
Blimey! Hope you had a nice tall elephant to ride home on? X
Tragically we had to stay in the pub till the worst of it had passed.....sauifhafhaskfjsf....(it took a while!!)

Wow, two hours and that's what happened? I hope you are clear of it!
Just like London and the rest of England this summer...
Ooh JJ. The comment from 'Gwyn'( my husband) is actually me. Weird blogger/google thing going on. Don't worry, you haven't got a weird lurker:-)
