Last night all the power went off for several hours during a downpour. This made the whole evening much more interesting as we searched the dark streets for a restaurant with generator backup, while diners elsewhere enjoyed a romantic candlelit supper. We preferred to be able to see what we were eating. The streets are lined with electric cable hung from poles; the overall impression is of one huge mess of copper wires and power cuts seem more of a certainty than an occasional hazard. The rain continued over night and then reached monsoon proportions in the morning, washing the air clean of the grubby haze that clings to The Gulf of Thailand.
