If folk are going to take photos of Thai signs please make them readable. It is very frustrating. Trying to blow up print taken on an angle.
I gave up.

I tried but it's out of focus. Even Atb couldn't rectify that!

Only just realised @nomad97 had posted a satellite photo of my home during the waiting for the dirt to settle stage. Very impressive!

Now have water and home....

Taken from Notthenation.

"According to the Thai Meteorological Department, Thailand may enter the rainy season about 1-2 weeks later than usual around the end of May, while the amount of rainfall during six months from February to July in the northeastern, eastern and southern regions will be 3-5 per cent below normal level.

@Bandersnatch, your image will not load on my 1000/200 Gbps Internet connection. I very much doubt that @Rice will ever see it also.

Washing yer hands every 5 minutes!

Since July 2019 we've reduced our water usage from 11-12 cm/m to 8-9 cm/m. During the serious drought period we were down to less than 5 cm/m so we still have savings that can be implemented.

Looks like another dry one..

Thailand’s rainy season officially begins May 18th







Thailand officially enters the rainy season Monday, said Meteorological Department director-general Squadron Leader Somsak Khaosuwan.



Citing a meteorological model, he said that the rainy season this year will last until mid-October. The rain will, initially, be scattered and will steadily increase from the end of May through mid-June, when rainfall will then taper off until the middle of July.



He said that there might not be enough water for farmland which has no access to irrigation between mid-June to mid-July adding, however, that there will be more rain during August and September, with the possibility of one or two tropical storms moving across Thailand.
