Today's weather;
Samui is waking up under a thin cloud layer but I expect the sun to break through later today. The situation is improving all around and for all week there's hardly any wind and just minor rainfall predicted, just what Samui needs right now! Current temp at 7am is 24C
Yesterday saw some sunshine in the morning and more cloud formations during the afternoon with bits and pieces of rain but nothing too serious.
All supplies are coming in again, gasoline, diesel, food (Big C was partly stocked again yesterday). There was only 6mm of rain yesterday!
Unfortunately I've now news on one resort on Samui that's more or less destroyed by a Banyan Tree, if anybody knows the name of the resort, please let me know. Thanks.
Nakhon Si Thammarat and the small town of Phun Phin, the railway station near Surat Thani town are worst hit. Currently all roads between the Andaman side and the Gulf coast are closed according to Thai TV due to floods or flood damage.

I received a few more donations, the beer funds is doing well, thanks to Andrew and Joseph this time around and a big shout out to Peter in the UK who donated 500,-$ with the message "Please assist those displaced by the floods - I have a house in Dhevatara Cove and we have been most fortunate". Thanks Peter, just talked to my wife and she knows people who pretty much lost everything, so your donation will be well spend and will be of great help for some who are in dire need right now.

Koh Lanta woke up to a lightly clouded sky and sunshine is expected later today. I'm out on the dive boat today for some Open Water dives as part of my current IDC on Koh Lanta.
Yesterday the sun broke through occasionally on Koh Lanta but there was also one short but heavy shower around 4pm.
