Hi playboy.
We had a lot of rain yesterday. Downtown looked like a river, but the streets are dry now.
You will find more about the new shopping centre here: http://www.huahinafterdark.com/forum/vi ... php?t=2870

Right now you don't need to worry about watering your garden, but I think you'll have a dry desert of a garden if nobody is taking care of it before October!!

Hi Norseman;

Is it horseman or norseman? Thank you for information about the weather in Hua Hin. I did not go back home since last November and I will be back again posible this coming October. Yes many trees to taking care and hopefully it alives. Everytime I call to my neighbor at the village, they said it has no rain!! but CNN weather and your discussion indicated that there is a rain in Hua Hin. So I just rely on information from the site like this one. Read about people who talk about Hua Hin. I wish that there will have a service such as satelite photo which we can zoom in once or twice a week at my home in Hua Hin.(actually 25 minutes from Hua Hin).
Thank you again
Norseman

I'm a norseman but not a horseman. (This could be a good song).

What never ceases to amaze me is that a country in the tropics crumbles to its foundations after a little precipitation. Roads flood, power goes out, telephones stop working, people drive like bigger twats, internet connections go down for days, cable TV is a fuzzy screen, anyone would think it was a nuclear holocaust not a few drops of rain.

Any closer to working it out JW - I'm always interested in viewing photos of natural catastrophies (the water outside was nearly waist deep).

Maybe this is something the forum needs - an idiot's (don't take that the wrong way please) guide to doing useful things such as adding links to photos etc.

It is not only in the tropics - this is just how it is in the UK after an inch of snowfall!

Hello Norseman,
no, i'm not agree with you in that. We have had 30 inches of snow here in southern Norway this winther without too many problems. But I'm not fond of his type of winther and should like to be in Hua Hin for a longer time during the winther.

Regards Monor

Hi monor.
First snowfall in southern Norway was October 24-25.
It created chaos in the traffic in Aust-Agder, Vestfold, Telemark, Akershus, Buskerud and Oestfold.
I wonder why people still ask me why I live in LOS.

Anyway monor, next time you're in Hua Hin, pm me, and let's have a beer and a chat about the snow that fell last year.

:cheers:

Hi Norseman !
Well, I don't regard some hours of trafickproblems as a big deal. Thank you for your invitation.I'll give you a notice next time we go to Hua Hin and look forward to a beer or two.... or more, and changing opinions with you. One of my opinions is that the local beer, Singha, is very good. I like to support lokal products and not the global trademarks.

Regards, Monor

We just got hit again over here between 1700-1830 hours Sunday 3/19. Not as bad as before concerning wind but a steady, hard downpour that put 2" in the pool. Pattaya is in the last night of a 3 day music festival on Beach Road, and this may have washed out tonight's activities, we'll see. Pete

I take it from all the comments about the rain, that you are having more than your fair share for the time of year.

No rain in HH so far this evening.
If I remember correct, we only had 1 day with rain in 2006.
Please forgive if I'm wrong. SangSom twists my brain right now.
