It has been raining very hard for 24 hours here. Glad to be on the 2nd floor.

Noosa should have come here Soona
Well, what more can I say. I am a reasonably well travelled person but I have never been to anywhere so beautiful.
I rest my case your honour.

Storm
There were 2 notable things about last night. The most ferocious storm I have ever seen and I saw the Thai Elvis. Both were awesome in slightly different ways. There doesn't appear to be any drainage here so the streets were literally knee deep in water. Unfortunately I left my camera at the hotel but there is more forecast so I will post a video if I can work out how to use this camera. I have recorded a couple of videos accidentally so I know it can do it.

Bangkok pharmaceuticals
I went to a pharmacy to get some anti-mosquito spray and was stunned. I left my blood pressure tablets at home but they actually sold exactly the same ones in the shop. Cheaper than a prescription charge as well. I will have to be more careful with the spray though. 7 bites and counting, makes me fel a bit rough. Early start this morning despite having tied one on last night. I was in a cafe at 8.30, in fact I am still there. I have to go out to access the net. They charge 19 baht (about 40p) a minute there. Coffee and an excellent breakfast. This is the scene opposite, a typical Bangkok street scene. You can see the pollution here, a sort of haze.
