Fun on the Rainy Days
Hello, everyone! I'm Kiana. Today I want to talk about the rainy days in Thailand.

Thailand is a very beautiful country. It is really hot and it rains a lot. When it rains, we often have huge puddles in our garden. My brother and I often run and splash in the puddles. We get very wet and dirty but it is really fun. Sometimes the road outside our house is flooded. We take our bikes and ride through the water or play with boats there. We wear our rain boots, raincoats and stomp around in the water!
