Bangkok’s been scorched by the sweltering heat of late, with temperatures as high as 40 degrees celcius in the past week.

The thunderous rain brought about a nice change from the unbearable heat. Below are the view from the balcony as the sky progressively turned darker before heaven opened up. This was followed by a massive downpour, accompanied by loud thunderstorms and lightning bolts, lasting for at least a good 2 hour.

I simply love it when it rains. The harder the rain, the better…so long as I’m tucked in at home.
