Internet slow
I'm getting a lot of these pages since ... you know when.
In every case when I reload the page it appears without further difficulties.

One theory is that increased government monitoring is causing the slowdown.
I tend to agree with another theory that increased use of mobile devices and social media is the cause

Motorcyclists and pedestrians traveling through mud puddles or standing water should wash as soon as possible after being splashed. This is especially important if you have cuts or sores on your skin.
Feces and urine left behind by domestic and farm animals most likely is mixed with the standing water.

According to the local weather service we had slightly over an inch of rain yesterday afternoon. I would have guessed an inch per minute
When road construction near my house began at the start of the week I suspected there would be some major problems ahead. Even walking has now become hazardous.

Thailand Road Hazard Warning Signs
"Twig Alert"
A twig is a small thin terminal branch of a woody plant, frequently used in Thailand as road hazard warnings.
See a branch in the road and you will most likely encounter a pothole or a stranded vehicle.
In this case branches were used by construction crews laying new drainage lines. Guess they are on a tight budget, can't afford proper construction markers. Both the hole and twig were hard to spot.
With the help of friendly neighbors the vehicle was recovered without damage
