Stormy weather on Hat Chaweng

My first night at Hat Chaweng beach on Ko Samui, I went for dinner at this restaurant on the beach. As I sat there eating, my waiter pointed at some rather ominous clouds off in the distance and said, "Rain is coming." He then proceeded to scurry around and pick up seat cushions and condiments from the tables. So, I polished off my phaneng curry with shrimps and hid under the canopy drinking a Singha beer until the rain stopped. I'm not finding the rain to be too bothersome (xcept for when it killed my camera of course). It will rain heavily for an hour or two a day, and the rest of the day it is hot and humid. The rain is actually a relief...
