The Governor of Bangkok resigned this afternoon, that means new elections will have to take place at some point (January/February I guess)
and that means two consecutive dry weekends.
Good news for Pattaya !!?!

Good news for Pattaya !!?!
Apirak Kosayodhin stepped down on Wednesday after being found guilty of corruption in connection with alleged procurement irregularities of fire trucks and boats.
The Bangkok governor made his intentions clear at a news conference held at the Democrat party€™s head office.
His resignation will be effective Nov 19, the last day of the royal cremation ceremonies for Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana.
His resignation was anticipated by the media, after the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) voted unanimously to seek his indictment for his role in alleged irregularities involving the 6.68-billion-baht scheme to buy 315 fire trucks and 30 fire boats from the Austrian firm, Steyr Co.
Mr Apirak, who had suspended his governor€™s role after the indictment, vowed to fight the case in court.
"I have faith in the judiciary system of Thailand, and believe that I'll be treated fairly," he said.
Mr Apirak, who was re-elected as the Bangkok governor on Oct 5 with a landslide victory, said he would return to political arena after his name is cleared.
"I am willing to be scrutinised," he said. "And once the court has completed the examination, I will return."
