Pattaya storm traps Aussie guy in a beer bar on Soi 21 Buakhao for 2 hours. Hamish had just finished a lesson at Baku Golf Centre which is the first indoor golf centre of its kind in Pattaya when the storm moved in & forced him to be stranded.

The road disappears

Houston we have a problem. 🙂

Pattaya storm traps Aussie Oh no! The bike is almost new.

I’m walking….

I’m walking also…

No problem for the motorbike taxi.

It doesn’t take long to cover the footpath.

Everything starts going under.

That’s it says Hamish, I’m going nowhere. 🙂

Hamish predicted it would stop in 1 minute.

It was still raining 1 hour later. 🙂 🙂 🙂

That’s all folks.

I told you he was an Aussie. 🙂
