Thailand hot season feels more appealing now😀 I've been back nearly 4 weeks. It's rained on every day bar 3. This morning yet another gale along the Solent. I'm supposedly not returning to Thailand until October, but last Friday's miserable weather had me looking at flights for next week.... 1 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd already booked a one way flight "home" next month. Aside from the weather was missing the food after a day in the UK. An unhappy triple of more expensive, lower quality ingredients and less flavour ( comparing similar types of venue). 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to ask the inevitable question, but isn't it spring time over there now and the weather gets a bit better or is this just a rare occurence?

In theory it's spring, yes. As to whether it gets better from here on, we can only hope so! Apparently it's been this wet and miserable all winter... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year summer was pretty wet and miserable so hopefully this year will be better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiler Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Yep its cooking on gas mark "f**k off hot" here in the village. Mrs smiler is at a funeral right now of a guy who died of heat stroke last week. He used to live in a shack near some of her land. Would use the ponds on her land to bathe and do laundry in. She used to describe him as 50/50 in as much as he wasn't all there and certainly during the last 3 or 4 years he had a yabba problem. Guess this should be in the "Amazing Thailand" thread but I said to Mrs smiler I was sorry to hear about the guy and to pass on my condolances to his mum. She said not to worry, the mother will be sad but happy that she will get her share of the life insurance of one million baht the family took out on him....... 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he was near the end of the road I guess a life insurance policy was not a bad idea... Edited April 22 by fforest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galenkia Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Today’s forecast is a maximum 9 degrees and it’s almost the end of April. Though it’s meant to get warmer the end of the week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yessongs Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I hear all of you, it has been 100 degrees or more here in Minburi for the last 8 days. It is supposed to get even HOTTER every day as we go into next Tuesday, topping out at 104 degrees......geez and for me it seems like the humidity is down, this feels more like Las Vegas in July weather. Can't wait to get back to Calif in June.......got tickets to see John Waite, Foreigner & Styx and see some Baseball you know? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid my bill a few days ago. Up from the usual 2400B to 2700B. Not too bad, but I expect the next bill to be even higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
