Localised parrot, dry as a witches chuff over here. But fair bit of dark clouds coming in from the S.W.

Would not be surprised Dean. It started here over on the East at 11.30pm and continued to hiss it down until around 6am when eased off and stopped by about 6.30am. Plenty of Light & Sound shows through the night. Ducks exploring all the new ponds this morning.

81 mm in the rice paddies of Ban Dung. A "fog" of those annoying big winged bugs poring out of the ground, flying for a few hours then dropping dead everywhere. The pavement is covered in them!

About the same time as it really broke, Mrs tam and a couple of neighbors headed off frog hunting. They were out almost all night with a combined haul of about 10 kg of gorpers. That's getting the sister-in-law about 300 baht/kg down the market 'soht, soht' so not a bad job for about 5 hours work.

So if you're on the east side and your 'hood is unusually quiet of frogs after this first deluge, you can thank Mrs tam & Co.

Nightly occurrence over this way Tam. As soon as the slightest bit of rain comes there are torches all over the adjacent fields. Dogs normally go mental for first hour but it keeps the searchers from being tempted to jump our fences and have a look around our place.

there's a bog next to our property that since the rain hit has had an endless roar of the largest frogs imaginable. Since its a bog and likely has a goodly number of snakes (lots of frogs attract lots of snakes) good luck to anybody who wants to break through the brush, trash and mud to find them.

Yes, in Maison Rick it was frogs for Breakfast and Lunch today. I declined, they remind me of toads, just cannot bring myself to eat them

Frogs legs are pretty good Rick. Fried up with a bit of garlic, yum. Thai style God only knows as everything just tastes of chilies to me.

I have eaten frogs legs in France, here the legs are pretty small and they eat the whole animal.... maybe head as well!

That's a fair old dump of water Parrot almost 4 inches of rain in a day. No wonder the farmers are looking happy just now. Thai Met Office predicting a drought in June but the Royal Buffalo say plenty rain and increased exports all year with Thai economy making an incredible recovery due to rich Indian tourists. Who to believe???.

Personally I would believe the Buffalo, far better at Weather prediction that the current slew of Weather forecasters.
