Water Spout off Jomtien


Pattaya was surprised by a 300 meter-high water spout bearing down on the city from the Gulf. Beach vendors and tourists dashed to safety while the funnel of doom spun across the water before the Elephant’s Trunk or nguang cháang spent out its fury. No longtime residents could recall ever seeing a sea disaster off Pattaya and wonder if this phenomena harbingers good luck or bad.

I've only seen wind devils twisting in the western deserts of America.

I always drive the other way.
