Be careful if you are planning on going out this weekend, looks like it may be a big storm coming in. Pattaya One News:-

Boats arrive at Bang Sarae Beach to shelter from expected storms.

On Thursday we went to Bang Sarae Beach following reports from local residents that hundreds of pleasure boats and fishing boats had moored only meters from the beach to avoid an expected storm approaching from Vietnam. The beach will often be used as a place of shelter for boats as it is situated in an enclosed area and is surrounded by high mountains. We counted around 300 boats and spoke with one boat captain who would like us to warn those listening to this report that high winds and storms are coming to Pattaya in the next 24 hours.

I was out diving one of the Pattaya near islands yesterday and the surface conditions were terrible. Lots of winds and chop. It also rained most of the day from 10-5. It was much more pleasant in the water with no current on the wreck at all. I would not want to be out there if its going to get worst.
