Strolled along the Beach Road of Pattaya. Lots of sea activities under a clear sunny sky. Tourists flocked to the sea for jet-ski rides, para-sailing, boat rides or just to lay in the sun. It was the nothing out of the ordinary for a beach resort town, along with the many who stroll along aimlessly, snapping away with their digital cameras. Popped by the Central Festival Mall (a hugh one) where many ice cream palour had my name there (yummy for a hot day !!!). Passing an open entrance, felt some gush of wind and suddenly lots of people rushed in like a sale is about to take place. Popped outside and to my surprise, the bright sunny day has turned to one of dark gloomy skies, strong winds and flying debris.
Took a quick decision to pop into a "local" private taxi whilst many others were doing the same. Noticed that the boats and jet skis were heading back to shore and the umbrallas that lined the beach in the morning were either tied down, kept away or blown away. Trees were bowing to the wind as the visibility at sea dropped when the rain (heavy rain !!!) sets in. Was glad that I was already on the way back to the hotel whilst many were scrambling to look for shelter. The 150 baht ride was worth it.
