Our lives and livelihoods are not at stake. Very patronizing. Be assured I'm quite relaxed, but some livelihoods can be affected by this drought, and they may be interested in reading about it without the usual deluge (!) of Butlin Camp humor, on what is to you, an unimportant forum.

Are you sure they're washing the streets? In Rawai I saw them cleaning the road drainage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansgruber Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 Chalong dam is not even close to 30% full and were nearly a month out from the official "high season" (Nov 1st) We're going to need some record breaking rain to avoid it. Get yourself some water tanks and start collecting the rain yourselves. It's going to be a dry high season with water trucks speeding the streets.
