My colleagues and I left the hotel at around 5pm on the last day of our 5-day training trip in Thailand. The sky was dark and started to rain when we boarded a taxi to head towards Suvarnabhumi Airport.

It was raining so heavily shortly after our taxi was driving for less than 5 minutes. We saw long and white lightnings were drawing across the sky almost everywhere. Suddenly, we saw the lightning was striking those high cable posts located near the roadside.

We also saw white sparks were falling off from the cable post and landed on the road just 10-20m in front of our taxi. The taxi driver was stunned and we were shocked to see what was happening before our eyes!!

Fortunately, the taxi driver was driving slow enough in the rain. I wouldn’t know what would happen if our taxi was driving faster by 10 seconds. Phews……..it was a narrow escape! What a thrilling experience, huh?

Finally, we managed to reach Suvarnabhumi Airport safe and sound. We checked in our baggages immediately and entered the departure hall. I took some photos of the Thailand legacy displaying in the departure terminal while I was waiting for the flight.

Later, we found out that all flights were delayed due to the heavy rain and ours was delayed for more than an hour. This means that we would touch down Singapore past midnight. Oh no! What a tiring and sleepy return trip that we have had 🙁
