Howling winds blow away campers' tents in Thailand

These campers chose the wrong day for a night in the outdoors, with powerful winds tearing up their tents in Thailand. Suphachoke Thanachokesetthakul and his friends pitched up on the hillside in Petchabhun, Northern Thailand on November 13. But later that evening on the Pha Tat cliff, there were howling winds that blew over their equipment and uprooted the tent pegs. Suphachoke said: ''It was like a giant fan blowing our tents. There was no way to turn it off and it lasted all night until the next morning. We didn't get any sleep.'' Fortunately, none of the campers were injured.
