    great initiative to report the weather forecasts.
    can cause a lot of trouble if you are not aware.

    (we have already seen a storm rage over koh samui several times).

    Thanks for the weather info. Last year around this time I was in Maha Kharasam in Isaan. Could only reach her house via a motor boat (via the government). T is so sorry for the Thai and the best thing is that they just keep smiling! Every day extra sandbags were placed in the restaurant where we ate daily to contain the rising water. I only gave those boys one bottle of coke every day, because I felt guilty sitting relaxed with my Singha and they had to carry the sandbags in the heat. I now check your side every day to see how the weather is. Thanks again for the daily info!

    See first and then believe. That Gaemi must first make a U-turn. Over the past three days, he's only moved further away from us. Last Sunday the center was at 113 degrees east longitude and now at 117,5. If he wants to be in Thailand at the weekend, he has to turn 180 degrees and then move very fast. I do not believe it. In addition, it still has the strength of a tropical storm. When he lands in Vietnam in that capacity, he arrives in Thailand as a deep or ordinary depression and we now have that here two every three days. We'll see.
