Thailand/Samui Part 3

Artist's brother flew to Thailand and it was a good news,because she didn't see him for more than 10 years.
It was a strange moment,because she remembered him as a young boy and now he is a grown up man.
They decided to move to another house closer to the beach and maybe to get rid of "things" were attacked the "hero" of our story.
Alex is a journalist who was traveling the world and had a chance to be and work in Thailand before and also was familiar with location and local life.

New house was a little bit smaller,but still has a quite big patio where you can enjoy and landlord was very nice and it seems like everything should go on right places this time.
You wish... The rain season started in 2 days.
It was about 2p.m. when somebody knocked the door.It was the landlord and she said:
- There will be a storm tonight, so here is a candle for case if electricity will go down.
- The storm?
It was a sunny day and it was hard to imagine that some storm can be,but who knows...

Artist went to the beach to see what is going on and the sea didn't look the way she used to see it.
The sea was worrying, it was mad, it turns into dark grey color from electric blue and the waves were strong and made a lot of unpleasant noise, it was scary.
It started about 4 a.m. when electricity went down and internet was off. Strong wind attacked the island and lightening made it's dance in the sky. Clouds were hitting each other and the horrible sound was spreading with echo around all island.
For a few days Artist and her Alex stock in the house, with water under your knees on the ground around property, poor bike was almost washed away and the rain was just continued going,it wasn't just a rain,it was like a wall of water falling from the sky.

... A few weeks later it came the time when viza (stamp) what you will get on the boarder when you arrived to Thailand was expired and something you have to do about it -to go home or to go to get viza,or to get get a stamp across the boarder,because inside of the Country you can only do extension for one week paying 1500 butt and then still to make a choice after one week: to leave the country and go home or to leave country to get a new stamp - the new enter to Thailand,or to leave the Country and to get viza for 2 months through immigration office with the agency who helps foreigners. There are more ways to get viza by yourself, so you can contact us for this information,before you go to Thailand it will make your life easier, if you're ready for adventure, believe me.
