This time of year is the start of the monsoon rain season in Thailand. For 6 months every year, the country is inundated with monsoon rains.
Tourist come to hate the 2 feet of water building up in the streets in an hour, however, residents have learned to live with and embrace the rain.
There isn’t anything any of us can do about the rain, except use common sense and be safe.
Dealing with the monsoon rain season is part of life in Thailand.
