Anyone hear of any issues with this flooding going in Thailand? Im headed there in 2 weeks to Krabi/ Koh Yao Noi and wondering if anyone is down there now or has just gotten back? Ive searched the web a bunch just seems like N.Thailand and the Gulf of Thai.
Its a mess, but its not a trip changing mess... or maybe it is.
There are serious flooded areas in all of the southern provinces. Mudslides are a big problem. The rain has been torrential, but it has not been something that has not been seen before. What makes it odd is that it came at this time of year. Its a bit like having a big snowstorm in September. It can happen, but its not normal. Torrential rains happen in the rainy season, but not usually now.
I would not change anything with your trip. Chances are this just passes. I doubt the entire monsoon pattern has shifted to earlier in the year. However, it could be just a rainy "hot" season and you will be in some rain. The "dry" season of 1994 was very rainy... no idea why.
In Krabi, yesterday was the first rainless day in some time. Hoepfully it goes back to normal and you get to be there for what is normally the hottest, driest, most wind free time of the year.
Hey Sam. Thanks for the tips, I think were still gonna make it down there. Pics look a bit rough, but thats all part of the adventure. We'll be down there for some time (monthish) and im sure there will be some sunny days.
