I was starkly awoken up by thunder this morning. Where I woke up and whether I was alone is not the point, it was some serious noise. I actually thought it was an explosion. It was only when I went out to get a taxi I realised it must have been thunder as it was pouring down. Ok, so the fact I got up and then got a taxi is a slight clue, but honestly, that’s not the point!
The rain’s fantastic in Bangkok. After a downpour, the air is much cooler for a day or so. It rained yesterday as well, there was what might have been described as a “cool night air”, something one doesn’t normally experience in Bangkok!
Ahh, all this talk of rain makes me think of Scotland…

You develop an eye for it! I can spot a lady boy at 30 paces these days…
