When it Rains, It Pours - Pattaya, Thailand

This day started with the sun coming out clear and bright. The day was very relaxed here in this adult orientated beach city of Pattaya, Thailand.

Daeng and I ate in the morning market and rested until about 2;00 PM. We then hopped on a baht bus to our friend Rick and June's condo in Jomtien Beach.

June fixed a wonderful meal of "Pathai". "Pathai" is a fried rice noodle dish.

June made it without much spice but it can be made with spice that will burn your face off. She had a lot of peanuts in the dish which I liked because it was crunchy.

We rested a while and than the four of us hopped back on a baht bus to Pattaya to meet some other English speaking folks for a little meeting at 6:30 PM. When we arrived at the meeting it started to rain.

The meeting was very interesting as there were six of us, all from Southern California. Three of us were from Orange County, one from Los Angeles, one from Hollywood and one from Riverside. We talked about our lives and how Thailand had changed all of us, for the better.

Now, while we were in the meeting it had rained hard. As you can see in the picture, we had to walk through water, over ankle deep, to get to the main road. The main road named "Second Road" was also flooded. I had on black leather shoes and socks so I took them off and walked.

We had fun in the water although it was a little smelly from the sewers. We took a good shower with lots of soap when we got back to our room at the hotel.

When it rains here in Thailand, it pours!

Tomorrow we need to start getting ready to fly back to California on Wednesday. That is a long trip. We will miss Thailand, as well.
