PHUKET: Rain is being predicted for New Year with the Phuket meteorologists saying clouds will continue to blot the horizon for a little while yet.
Wind speeds will vary between 5 kph and 30 kph, with Phuket feeling the effects of being on the outskirts of the monsoon rains being dumped over the Gulf in the south.
On the Similan islands, officials say that speedboats have agreed to leave before 4pm to avoid the worst of the storms and higher waves that are now a regular daily feature.
Officials say the erection of new signage in Thai, English and Chinese should help to make the Similans safer, with 86 staff now on the park payroll.

I hope it would be pouring rain all New Year eve and as a result the insane and incredibly irritating firecracker assault would be reduced to tolerable levels.
