In case you had not heard, Tropical Storm Pabuk made landfall in Nakhon Si Thammarat just after lunch today. It is moving Northwest across southern Thailand causing widespread destruction.

We are south of this area and across towards the west coast so have have persistent rain all day with moderate winds.

Today was spent watching the rain live from inside our room and watching the Thai news on TV.

Having cycled down a lot of the east coast last month, you can see from our pictures most of the ocean front restaurants and businesses are a simple wood / bamboo construction, unlikely to survive the storm conditions.

We can only hope everyone stays safe over the next 48 hours.

Only one picture today, the dog who lives here by the hotel desperately wanting to come into our room.
