Goodbye to June 2014

It's just a few more hours before this June version of 2014 is behind us.

To catch it head on, the weather during this June was not the best and similar to last year if not worse. Instead of an occasional shower, we received a lot more rain in the beginning and end of the month than usual and towards the end of the month we had some very strong wind blazing, making sure the speedboats going out and about their diving and snorkeling business were cancelled.

Going out fishing at Fisherman's Village

In the beginning of the month I found myself in Moalboal, Philippines for the first time, which I enjoyed a lot and almost straight afterwards I started a PADI IDC on Koh Samui. Home turf at last!

The first of three races in three consecutive weekends was run yesterday in Bangkok and the next two weekends will see me running in Phun Phin and Surat Thani respectively.

Stay tuned for daily weather reports and updates in July, which may see me back in South Korea towards the end of next month.

Car accident in Bang Rak near the airport

This afternoon I was made aware of an accident that happened at the airport road in Bang Rak, causing electricity problems in the direct neighborhood. 

The damage by just one single car looks impressive and being able to knock out two electricity poles, indicates that high speed may have been involved.

It is unknown to me what happened to any people inside the car, one can only hope that they are fine.

Initial reports that the direct vicinity may be out of electricity for a couple of days turned out to be not correct, at least not for a resort within the direct vicinity, unless generators were at work.

Drive carefully out there folks!

The weather over Koh Samui varies around the island, Chaweng reports wispy clouds and a light breeze but Plai Laem is covered in clouds without wind. Island life with it's small details! Current temp at 7am is 26.3C

At Panagsama beach near Moalboal in the Philippines, we have a nice blue sky with some clouds in it. Looking at the pattern over recent days, we may have a shower during the afternoon but before and after it's sunny and warm! Current temp at 8am local time is 28C

We're ready for some morning dives, hopefully with some nice pictures later today and I've been blogging about this location heavily last night and this morning with a small description about Panagsama beach and an update on the Food on Wheels series.
