Amen on that rain. It was pouring out there. I had thought about going down to Patpong tonight, good thing I didn't.
The good news is that it actually felt pleasant outside for awhile today. Took a walk down to Siam Paragon from the Grand Hyatt before the rain this afternoon and didn't break out in the usual sweat.

Moxnix,
I did venture down to Patpong last night around 8pm and it poured cats and dogs around 10pm. I was in Cosmos bar and I thought the best thing here was to BF a friend of mine who works there and her girlfriend, and head over to HIP HOP, just around the corner.
Had a real blast there with the 2 girls and 2 of their girlfriends who turned up also. The 5 of us had a really great night till closing time, around 1.30am. My friendly BG friend and her GF ( GF still with me now) got up onto the centre stage and did some erotic dancing, great it was, the crowd really got into it. One of the best nights I have had. I had to contend with a group of Indian men who were trying to hustle in on our group, it did not work, lol.
Moral of the story, you cannot get wet inside the bar's, lol.
Cheers mate
Barrafish.

Report from Bangkok Post dated Sunday 9 April 2006 :-
Heavy rains, flooding seen as likely in Thailand : Signs of La Nina change detected
============================================
A climate change research institute has warned of heavy rains and flooding resulting from the La Nina weather phenomenon. Anond Snidvongs, director of Start, a regional climate research institute, said experts have detected signs of La Nina since last year, when the sea surface temperature in the Pacific Ocean dropped 1-2 degrees Celsius from its average level and the wind force above the ocean steadily increased.
La Nina would bring humidity from the sea to the land, leading to a sharp rise of rainfall and possible landslides.
Disaster warning and emergency response agencies should go on high alert, he said.
''In the past, we hardly paid any attention to La Nina, compared to El Nino, which caused severe drought here in 1997-98. It's time to look into the impact of La Nina,'' he said, adding that it was likely that the phenomenon would start this wet season and last until May next year. ''Mapping out landslide and flood-prone areas and early detection of La Nina are needed now to help authorities work out proper emergency response and disaster mitigation plans,'' he said.
According to the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the most recent La Nina weather phenomenon occurred from mid-1998 to early 2001, which possibly caused the major flooding in Hat Yai in 2000, said Mr Anond.
He said Thailand has little knowledge about the phenomenon and its relationship to local weather patterns, so it was hard to predict the severity of La Nina's effects.
It is also not clear if the La Nina-triggered rainfall would help ease water shortages in the dry season as La Nina was normally intense in the wet season.
Caretaker Agriculture and Cooperatives Minister Sudarat Keyuraphan on Friday told irrigation officials to monitor the situation to send out warnings to farmers where necessary.
Samart Chokkanapitak, chief of the Irrigation Department, said the agency had detected a higher amount of rainfall over the past three months, and would keep watch on the phenomenon.
The department did not have in place a water management plan to cope with excessive rain volumes in the wet season. It would gather more information about the weather phenomenon before drafting the plan, he said

Report from Bangkok Post dated Monday 10 April 2006 :-
Heavy rains, storm warning during the Songkran festival
=============================================
Several areas in the Northeast, East and Central Plains regions have been told to brace for heavy downpours, strong winds and hail storms during the Songkran festival. Khatawut Malairojsiri, head of the Meteorological Department's weather forecast section, said the cold air mass would nudge its way over the Northeast, East and Central regions during April 14-17, increasing precipitation.
The region is likely to experience heavy rains, strong winds and thunderstorms with the possibility of hail.
He warned residents to stay away from advertising billboards and big trees, and not to wear metal ornaments which could attract lightning.
He said the upper part of the country and Bangkok were being hit by unpredictable weather patterns which would bring rain and strong winds today.
Hail storms wreaked havoc in some localities in the East and North at the weekend.
In Sa Kaeo, more than 30 houses in Prasongsuk village of Aranyaprathet district were destroyed by hail on Friday. The storm also caused a power blackout and uprooted trees.

Report from The Nation dated Monday 10 April 2006 :-
Thailand to get hotter and hotter
=============================================
Meteorologists predict 42C in Tak next week, as the country really starts to sizzle.
The next few weeks are forecast to be the hottest of the year, with temperatures in Tak, Lampang and Kanchanaburi likely to exceed 40 degrees Celsius, according to Meteorological Department experts.
The department's director, Suparuek Tunsrirattanawong, said the country usually sees the highest temperatures in the third week of April, unless there are heavy clouds or rainstorms.
The average temperature this summer has been around 37-39C for all regions except the South and the East, which have seen rain, he said.
"Tak and Kanchanaburi have always been the hottest places
in the country each summer due to their geographies," said Suparuek.
The head of Tak's provincial meteorological centre, Somsong Duanmai, said the province saw historic high temperatures last year, with the mercury reaching 43C.
This year, the hottest day was March 19, when the temperature hit 41.6C.
"Next week, we're forecast to reach 42C," he said.
According to Somsong, the province's geography, especially in Muang district, is characterised by a large amount of granite, which absorbs heat during the daytime and releases it at night. So, the heat lingers round the clock.
"The temperature at 4am is about 31C; that's as high as other places in the afternoon," he said.
According to Meteorological Department statistics, the highest temperature ever recorded in Thailand was 44.5C in Uttaradit in 1960, while Tak saw 43.7C in 1998, the third-hottest day in Thailand's history.
However, this year won't be as hot as last year because there's more rain about, said an official of the department.
In Bangkok and its adjacent provinces, the average temperature will be around 39C. Anond Snidwongs, a scientist who works for the Asia Pacific Network for Global Change Research, said Bangkok has become hotter year by year because of the "heat island phenomenon".
This refers to the accumulation of heat in cities, which have a large number of buildings trapping the heat and high use of air conditioners releasing greenhouse gases.
The hotter temperatures seen in Thailand are due to this phenomenon, rather than global climate change, which will have an effect in the long term, he
said.
According to Anond, the country's average temperature could climb by 2 or 3 degrees Celsius within the next 30 years, resulting in an average high summer temperature of 43C. Global climate change is blamed on an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
