Why do raindrops fall from the sky? Do you always ask yourself this question when you get wet? Of course not. No one asks themselves this question. We accept the raindrops as a welcome or not welcome phenomenon. At most, we think about how to get the least wet. To stand still or to go on?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raindrops keep falling on my head<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Too many raindrops<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is July and we are on our way from Bangkok along the east coast of Thailand to Malaysia. It is rainy season in Southeast Asia and time to think about: how do I get the least wet? Or better, how do I dry again?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thailand’s climate is influenced by two monsoons (the southwest and the northeast monsoon). In most parts of Thailand, the rainy season lasts from May to October, with September and October seeing the most rainfall. The east coast of the south, where we are currently traveling, is actually different! There, heavy rainfall occurs from October to December. But what does “actually” mean?! We are on the road here in July and yet we experience heavy rains that last for days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They say, “Actually, it rarely rains all day. The days are warm and sunny most of the time, then when it rains, there are short and violent storms.” Uh-huh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They say, “Rainstorms usually last about one to two hours at a predictable time (usually in the afternoon or evening).” Uh-huh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
