Rain, Rain and More Rain. Ubon Ratchathani Thailand.

It is the rainy season now in Thailand and most nights it rains but by morning it has stopped and at most a light drizzle with the occasional shower.

But last night it rained and rained, it did ease off this morning a little but has been pelting down for a good 2 hours solid and doesn’t look like stopping anytime soon.

Drainage is poor in Ubon Ratchathani, the roads flood easily even with a short 10 minute downpour, so the road is now covered in water and the moat that surrounds Thung Sri Muang Park is nearly overflowing.

If the moat floods the fish will be free and the fishermen come out collecting them. I will try and get pictures if they appear but eating the fish out of there is a risk if you ask me as the water is disgusting.



The traffic is driving down the centre of the road, the shallowest part o the 4 lanes. This flooding isn’t so bad yet, and places like out the front of Tesco Lotus on our main road here would be much worse and is a disgrace for the local government.

So I sit and listen to the rain falling and with no end in sight I could be swimming home a little later.
