I intended to cycle up to the Hin Lad waterfall. Unfortunately, rain the night before rendered the road impassible on my bike.

Sky Lounge Storm Damage

On the evening of October 13th we noted that a rainstorm was predicted for about midnight. We were awoken about then by the sound of thunder, lightening and pounding rain. We fetched the beach gear from the balcony, closed the windows and went back to bed. We heard a loud explosion which we assumed was a power transformer. It turns out the explosion was the sound of the plate glass windows of the Sky Lounge imploding. 

I think the outside air pressure fell fast during the storm causing this heavy wood and glass door to fly off its hinges and out of the library.

That caused the big glass window at the end of the room to implode into the room.

By the next day the room had been cleaned out, the broken glass removed and a rope strung across the open window which is 13 floors above the ground.
