Pattaya residents got a pleasant surprise rainstorm, but it failed to dent the region’s drought situation.

The Mabprachan Reservoir is now at 16 percent of its 16.6-million-cubic-meter capacity.

While officials continue to insist there will be enough water until June, Pattaya residents are still urged to conserve.
