I was amazed that there were two. <br /><br />‘’I stood watching for a few minutes then the clouds just sort of faded away. The sky was grey and it was quite scary. A lot of people stopped to watch.''<br /><br />Waterspouts, or funnel clouds, are intense columns of swirling tornado clouds that form over a body of water. <br /><br />They are most commonly found in subtropical areas and disappear shortly after they come into contact with land.<br /><br />Thailand’s humid climate combined with fierce thunderstorms can often give rise to waterspouts in coastal areas.
