At this time last year, The Rock was being painted with a fresh coat of paint...just a few days before Hatyai was hit by a surprise flood that swept away a lot of shack-homes, furniture, food, TV sets, motorcycles and even a few stray cows (May they rest in peace). Though the city has returned to normal, as the rainy season rolls around again, everybody has been watching the sky suspiciously.
At Baansila, we have begun peeling the moldy spots of paint from the wall. Some of it was already bubbling and falling off like gritty snowflakes, but the rest of the job took almost 5 days worth of chipping away with paint scrapers. Thanks to the help of our friends and the kids, the wall is clean and clear! We can start re-painting it....just as soon as we are sure it won't flood this year.
