First Rain of the Rainy Season

It is almost April 1st which is officially the rainy season in Bangkok. The first heavy rain came down for almost 45 minutes and overwhelmed the storm sewer system. After about 6 months of no rain I imagine the sewers were all clogged up with the garbage that often gets littered (is that a verb?) about.

Soi 22 was awash with water flowing over the top of the sidewalks. Jaidan and I went for a stroll as soon as the rain stopped so we could shoot some photos.

This is what we found.

Propane tank deliveries must go through.

The cockroaches were abandoning the streets for higher ground.

Farang was out for a stroll.

Venice of the East

Are you sure you want to do this?

More propane tank deliveries.

W hatch that wake!

Too late for the umbrella ... I think :-)
