Sure was, the daily drive at around 05-30 hours to work near the airport Lad Krabang way via the expressway from the Naam Daeng entry to Ikea exit onto Bang Naa Trad road was indeed easy, limited vision due to the very heavy rain yet all traffic was moving at a steady rate average around 60 kph as opposed to the normal 100 kph.

Sensible driving by all road users. Bang Na Trad highway was more like Baen Sen seashore in many place with the bow waves created by the traffic gently lapping te roadside verges. Again sensible driving techniques, common sense prevailed.

Bonus side or the inclement weather for the kids at school was that today's exams were cancelled due to the many absentees and very late arrivals students and staff alike.

All agreed, Thai's and white wogs that none of us had ever had experienced such a downpour like that at this time of the year.
