As is the norm at this time of year, bar and restaurant trade is detrimentally affected by the rain.
We've had rain pretty much every day, often heavy, and some nights it has continued to fall for hours.
Bangkok might be good for a fun night out, but when it rains the combination of bad traffic, slippery streets and the idea of getting to a bar drenched and then sitting in ice-cold air-conditioning makes it an easy decision to just to stay home.
