Rainy Season

October is the tail end of rainy season in Bangkok.  It runs from July-Oct, but is it not like the drizzle we get back home.  It is massive downpours with thunder and lightening, that is you get caught in it, you'll get a shower.  Within seconds the skies turn dark, the wind picks up and you are soaked to the bone.  I have been caught a couple times (once while driving the bike, which was NOT fun at all).

Then, when the storm has passed, the sky turns blue and everything dries out and we can play in the street once again.

Last week, the kids were having a water-gun fight when a storm hit.  They were already wet, so why come in?

But....The first boom of thunder sent them scurrying towards homes. Liam was the only smart one who came running to cover with the first drop.
