Monsoon Season in Bangkok

It's monsoon season right now - that means it rains at some point almost every day and the sky is often overcast. This is not as bad as it sounds - first of all, the rain really cleanses the city and the overcast sky keeps the temperature just hot, as opposed to unbearably hot.

This morning, we awoke to some of the loudest thunder that I've ever heard. It might be due to the fact that we're on the 30th floor of our building. It was a huge storm, with sheets of rain pouring down. It was over within 10 mins.

And we saw the most perfect rainbow over the Bangkok skyline.
