 Morning rainstorm
The morning after we arrived, we were awakened to a torrential downfall.  The kind of rain that will get you real wet.

There are an incredible number of partially constructed buildings along the waterfront and elsewhere in the city.  These are the after effects of the crash of the Thai economy a few years ago.  Some have ben "under construction" for many years.
