@@LifewithSerg The sad thing is when the rain stops, the smoke starts and you won't get any blue skies or long distance views like you are getting. But I also hope you don't get caught in monsoons. You just barely beat the flooding in some areas you left in the golden triangle. Really serious flooding too.
@barebarekun1613 ай бұрын
Don't worry Serg, you go up in the mountains during the rainy season and middle of working days which is considered the low season for mountains tourism, rains too much with strong dangerous rivers and waterfalls currents and there's the potential of flash flooding and mudslides in the north and northeast region most Thai tourists don't risk going up during the Rain season it's normal during this time. And if this footage shot today then another reason why it's quiet and shops closed there is because it's after long holiday period from 9-12th of August this year shops probably closed for restocking supplies.
