In my experience local ATC are generally good - but as I say I’m yet to go when conditions are a little more adverse... Any other top tips welcome too - how does the runway state hold up?

Thanks in advance...
Having flown extensively throughout Asia, and indeed the world, just because someone else is flying through the CB doesn’t mean you should. If your not happy with it just dont do it, peer pressure is a dreadful thing. Have the courage of your convictions and wait it out. Take extra fuel in Asia in monsoon for sure....
