When It Rains In Phuket..
It's so beautiful and refreshing. So when the rain does come it's quite a sudden relief from the sweltering heat. The air temperature cools down as the rain falls and sometimes it comes down so hard it's hilariously intense. I like it, it's like nature upgraded regular rain drops to water bombs.
As we're on an island the rain comes as fast as it goes and it's literally like someone turned off the tap. Immediately after the rains stops something else suddenly becomes alarmingly apparent, humidity. Like huuuumidity, like you're in the shower wet, like your breathing underwater wearing spongebob square pants. It's so draining that all you want to do is lay down and melt. Well that is, if you have something to melt on..
Surprise surprise! As we're looking out the window and admiring the force of rain that's coming down, Kai's licking the window like a mad man wondering why he can't taste this stuff falling from the sky. What's that wetness I'm feeling? All of a sudden we look down and realize, our feet are wet.. wait a minute, we're standing in a puddle!
Yep low and behold we just got flooded, actually we were being flooded as we were watching the rain and recording this time lapse. Now we have a 2 inch, indoor paddling pool for Kai lol. It was steady pouring in and by the time we got everything up off the floor and scratching our heads about what to do. Our landlady turned up banging on our door with two helpers armed with mops and buckets to blitz the whole apartment right away.
Jamie says that's the "best flooding" she's ever had and she's had a fair few guys. So all in all a hot, sticky and very wet day here in Kamala. We didn't go down to the beach today, we heard after the rain if you go on the sand you'll get mobbed by sand fleas. No thanks, they leave a crazy itchy and spotty rash.
No worries, we had fun at home drying out and appreciating the very straight forward "get things done" attitude of Thais. Life is good, thanks for watching and sharing the journey with us guys. See you tomorrow!
Wholeness.

Yeah... Rain sometime give good moment for us, buy for me I hate rain when riding motorcycle.... Really... You should stop and put on your raincoat, suddenly after 1 minute after continue my trip. Rain stop.... What.....??? Ha...ha.. ! :)
@happyphoenix Haha yeah life in the tropics eh! Personally I don't ride in the rain anymore, it's much nicer to sit in the shelter and watch it. The smell and sound of rain is something I really do in joy here in Thailand. The raincoat on and off thing is funny too, I see a lot of people do the same. I just get wet lol, I don't mind the rain is warm compared to some countries.. and we dry fast out here :)
