TMD warns of fairly widespread thundershowers and isolated heavy rain in the East including Chon Buri on 19 October; motorcycle taxis switch to blue vests; Koh Larn under weather watch, no departure ban found.
Bike taxis in the new blue vests keep running along Beach Road between showers, so agree the fare first and switch to Grab or Bolt if a cell opens up overhead.
On a rain night the bar sois near LK Metro stay open under their awnings, so grab a covered stool early and keep a 10-baht songthaew or Grab handy if the lane ponds.
