Re: Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

A check of current satellite images shows storms coming over from the west right on top of Cha-Am and Hua Hin. Yellow and reds so there must be some storm activity involved? Let us know if you get a much needed cooling shower? It’s a bit cloudy which has dropped the temperature a bit, but doesn’t l...

It's great to see evening thunder storms popping up all over the place up country, but not even a shadow in the East. :banghead:

Re: Trip to Zhangjiajie, Hunan, China

Great photos! A lot of those mountains spires are in their death throes I'm afraid. Centuries of erosion. Come back in another century or two and they may be mostly gone.

Re: MotoGP

I just watched a race from what I think is some kind of American Cup Championship series. I'll tell you, it's more exciting than F1 in that the bike groupings battle in 3-4's side by side for many laps, and some who go down and skid across the track. If you want some racing excitement on a smaller m...

Re: Termite Season 2021 and beyond

So far this season here in the East we have not had a sighting of a single termite, and no termite swarms at all. I'm afraid that with the first hard rain at night in the coming days/weeks it will be Armageddon here. :shock: If we're really lucky they have all perished underground with the heat and ...

Re: Doctors warn of hot summer heatstrokes

A sad part of all this is that I don't think this country has any laws to protect labourers from the elements while working outside. I see these men near where I live working on clearing land for a new housing development, and I see no breaks given, no shade, no nothing. IMO the trigger should be ab...

Re: Doctors warn of hot summer heatstrokes

Yes, swimming pools are useless unless you're lucky enough to have it in full shade. Cold showers are useless as the water is pre-heated by the hot PVC pipes in the ground. My full cold at the moment must be around 32c. Full Aircon day and night may bankrupt you, as I can attest. :laugh: The best ma...

Re: Football (not Premier League)

Leicester are of course the King Power people and wealthy Thai family left over from their glory days. They'll go up, but if they come back down rapidly I would think we'll see a change in ownership. The only player I know is Vardy, and he's getting old! :laugh:

Re: Football (not Premier League)

I'm actually finding this countdown to the end fun in the Championship, both top and bottom of the league. Less drama and histrionics than the Premier league. :thumb: :cheers:

Edit: Plus it's not filled with half a million dollar per week people who can't seem to play football?!
