10.06.25: Chiang Mai Rain

Chiang Mai rain doesn’t mess around. It doesn’t “drizzle” or “sprinkle.” It’s either nothing or full-blown flood. Streets turn into rivers and motorbikes look like doomed boats. The thing is, locals just deal with it. Flip-flops in hand, they wade through knee-high water like it’s a normal Tuesday. Meanwhile, I’m on the 14th floor staring down, wondering how anyone is supposed to buy groceries when the city looks like Venice without the romance. Nature has a way of reminding you who’s boss. Spoiler: it’s not the guy holding his phone out the window for flood content.
