ORIGINAL POSTEROn a different note, I’ve been informed by a very nice Frenchman selling pizzas at the lake side market in Khon kaen that’s it’s going to rain heavily on Monday 8th may at 6am,.my weather apps been predicting rain and thunderstorms for weeks now and littles happened,.if it does rain big style it could disrupt people’s and my travel plans,. Don’t shoot me I’m only the messenger,.:UPDATE:( well looking out of the window, at 9.30 ) it seems my “French” weatherman was wrong,!.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user shares concerns about heavy rain predicted for May 8th in Khon Kaen, based on information from a French pizza seller. The community reacts with light-hearted comments suggesting that rain in Thailand is often brief and doesn't typically disrupt plans, while some express skepticism about weather forecasting. An update reveals that the predicted rain did not occur.

Bangkok sunny and light rain now and then. But it is not too bad for me. I’m just loving the cleaning process of the city and the smell of fresh smoggy air 🙏🏻

How does a French man get away with selling pizzas in a market? I assume he doesn't have a work permit

Wow it might rain in the rain season.

Who cares, it rains for like an hour at a time in Thailand then goes back to being hot, all the water evaporates in 3 hours…. Welcome to a tropical paradise

Jeremy MillerIf you had said "like an hour or two" you wouldn't have received so much vitriol. "Like an hour" certainly doesn't mean 3 hours! It means 45 min or 1h15m or somewhere in the ballpark of 1 hour. If you want say 3 hours, you might say something like "it might rain for a couple of hours", which means 2 or 3 hours.

Can tell English is not your first language nor do you live in Thailand. You're not the first person to claim it only rains for a short time whenever rain falls, which simply isn't true. There are very wide variations and during the rainy season it can often rain 2 or 3 times in a single day.Paul *******
@Jeremy *******
Nonsense..sometimes it rains all day. Just 10 days ago, it rained for most of the day in Bangkok. This is perfectly normal. There's no set amount of time it rains for. Usually, it's 2-3 hours if there's a thunderstorm but can easily be shorter or longer.Jeremy ********

Like is the same as Ish….just deal with itJeremy ********
@Paul ******
thats why I used the word "Like"...I can tell English is not your first languageAJ ****
@Jeremy *******
can tell English isn’t your first language ….like an hour must mean a whole day to you LOL Humble yourself
