Good thing I woke up at 4.30 this morning - I heard the rain and saw my flooded terrace here in Rawai. I waded into my garden in ankle-deep water to take my Sulcata tortoise out of the flooded enclosure - an hour later it would have been too late.

What a foolish pretentious question, David. It smacks of racism and moral superiority. Why don’t you tell us how much you spend in the kingdom? And what you spend it on.
@@bozbozman1575 Your girlfriend works on Bangla Road? Your parents must be proud. I do, however, give you credit for admitting that. What I don’t give you credit for is your ignorance.

Sent you a post from the Daily Mail about a Phuket man from Russia yesterday. What a crazy place if you umbrella Pataya news with it. The authorities have their hands full no doubt..
To sum up the past week, basically positive news. New PM, Taksin given pardon and back to bzzniz , stronger baht, tourist numbers up, no floods in bangkok and I won the pool game yday 😀.
@@Androgen321 How mis understood Canute is! He did indeed command the waves BUT to demonstrate to his people that he was only human and no god and had no such powers.
In that mall incident, the man may have been rude or wrong before the video was taken, we do not know but what we can see in the video is simply him trying to get away from a very aggressive woman who is constantly yelling at him and grabbing both him and the woman he was with. No clue if any more of that story will be released, but I can only guess that if the aggressor in that video was a man chasing after a woman like that, physically grabbing and cursing at her, then the aggressor would have probably ended up in jail. Maybe that is just my western hang ups speaking though?
ok again you have said that this rainy season is a dryer one. NOPE! where i am just outside Bangkok we have had much more rain than normal. ok so a dryer couple of weeks now but before that the river was just inches from the top, houses have had minor flooding due to drains not being able to cope with the amount of water and even you have reported flooding in the city too. Thai people in this area and very nervous about flooding especially as the next 7 weeks is when it tends to get worse
@@timnewtontoday well here where i am there has been much more rain believe it or not. river being just inches from the top does not happen normally until late september but was like it middle of july. statistically speaking compared to how it looks on the ground
Tim, your forecast is inaccurate your forgetting about the visa on arrival for over 90 countries that came into effect last month. This will have a significant boost in tourism compared to the previous 6 months.

Thumbs up 👍 for the headlines Tim
Why so brief today Tim ? - could have spent a bit more time on some of those stories and still comfortably come in under 15 mins ?
Doings maths with imaginary numbers is a pretty pointless thing to do I'd say...
Please provide us with the correct numbers Martyn. Would make it much easier for us.

Are Chinese and Indians big spenders in Thailand???
Yep
What a foolish pretentious question, David. It smacks of racism and moral superiority. Why don’t you tell us how much you spend in the kingdom? And what you spend it on.
My girlfriend works on Bangla Road and NO they are bad tippers and mostly walk around not spending money. Facts
Not everything in Thailand regarding foreign spendings rolls around Bangla Road )) Starting with real estate, Chinese are the top buyers

Hi Tim, no news about the deputy PM. Anutin Charnvirakul, allegedly ,some dodgy land deals up in Buriram in the North East of Thailand?
Had that on my list today. Ended up on the cutting room floor with other stories
Wonder how many Aussies went over ?
Thanks for the news Tim!
Can you please re-introduce the ""update" Jingle ?
I found it fantastic 😂

King Canute has decreed that the water won’t flood the south, are you convinced Tim? 😮
Don’t understand the question
@@timnewtontodayking Canute commanded the sea not to come in about two hundred yards from where I live in Southampton Uk.

Statistically, there has been less rain this year, than average. But the wettest months are yet to come.
