It's been a wet and wild ride. And it's not over yet. Here are rainy day struggles every Bangkokian can relate to.

1. That sinking feeling when the BTS queue extends beyond the block 

This is not Krispy Kreme! 

2. And being on the platform no longer feels safe 

Suan Siam all over again.
 

3. When you finally get on the train everyone’s dripping wet and poking you with their umbrella

4. And if you try the MRT, it’s also absolutely freezing in there 

You can run but you can’t hide. 

5. That feeling of dread when 10 taxi drivers in a row shut you down because you live “on the other side of the river”

Thonburi is Bangkok too! Ugh. 

6. Or all of them being occupied, even if they have the vacant sign on

7. That awkward silence you have to endure when standing next to perfect strangers waiting for the rain to ease

8. That ominous feeling when you have to resort to your 7-Eleven flip-flops to save your Charles & Keith heels

It’s full of explosive puddles out there.  

9. When you’d rather let your newly-pimped supercar rest at home

Where it’s safe and dry.

10. Which means going to Thonglor now feels like a chore 

Oh please, plastic bags are so last season.

11. And that moment you realize halfway down the soi that you’ve left your umbrella at home as the dark clouds close in

Uh-oh.
