Not sure if too many will see this but I've heard from someone high up in a health dept that the Bangkok govenor is contemplating NOT reopening schools after the break. Keeping a close eye on the numbers. Same for Samut Sakhon Gov.

Might be 100% better but I'll bet it's still ChatGPT generated as this article is.

It seems that there is no such thing as fact checking and/or editing when it comes to pumping out AI generated articles. At least there sure doesn't seem to be. IMHO if these people call themselves journalists they have no right to do so.

You may well be interested to know that these "farm girls" as you say are very good earners for the economy. Much of what they earn goes back to support their familes. I saw once that's it's the second biggest export economy for Issan. As for the pensioner quip are you talking about expats that put money into the economy year in year out with many supporting families? I do realise though that the powers that be here sadly do not recognise this.

It's so the Chinese can look out of the windows at what's on offer.

Cheers. So I guess they only noticed their incompetence once it was pointed out to them. It just a full on amateur show from these clowns. I still think the best one yet was the pic of the Indonesean sub that was sadly lost with all hands when the article was about the Chinese sub purchase.

Please supply a pic of you on your horse. Or just a puicture of your horse. We would all love to see it.

So what is it then pardon my ignorance. Pic from this thread and pic of a 747-400. Apart from this a great plane. The 777 will always be my favourite though.

Buses full of Chinese zero baht tourists causing traffic jams for example.

If it's a cold year anywhere in Issan can get very cold. Lowest I remember was around the 7°C mark. This is when people die from exposure as opposed to heat stroke in the hot season. Been a while though since it's been really cold.

Just before dawn. It's pretty much 30ish for the rest of the night.

It would be 50°C+ in the sun. I remember putting a thermometer in the sun in Aus when it was 48°C. The thermometer popped. Egg frying temperatures that day. That was a true heatwave with 46°C+ for several days in a row.

My missus is hating this. Says it's never been like this before. Mother in law says the same. It's just relentless with more to come. Maybe start to drop towards the end of May.

I live in Issan and I'm Australian. I know what hot is but as I say this is not a heatwave. It's simply bloody hot everyday. Apart from this I've been here twenty years so I have a pretty good idea about the weather.

Daily temperatures for Thailand in April usually range between mid 30°C to low 40°C maximums and high 20°'s for overnight minimums depending where you are. Average daily temperature is what it says, an average of both maximum and minimum temps. The average max for the next ten days where I am including today is 38.9°C with 29°C being the average overnight minimum. So no heatwave just continuous heat. Having said this I would think this year April will go down as one of, if not the, hottest on record. Doesn't make it a heatwave though as maximums and minimums are not unusually hot it's just continuous.

No mate it wasn't in Thailand. I did think after I posted that life expectancy might be lower here.

Sorry to hear that. 12 is not old for a cat. I had two back in the day. The male was 18 and the female 21 when they died.

Around the average so far then. https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/general/40036190 "A total of 131 deaths were caused by heatstroke between 2019 and 2023, or more than 26 per year, according to Public Health Ministry data. Most of the victims were senior citizens and those in the working population." https://www.thailand.go.th/issue-focus-detail/009_154 "The Department of Medical Services has reported that, between March and May 2015-2019, an average of 43 people per year died because of hot weather." 30 Deaths from Heatwaves in Thailand Thailand hasn't had a heatwave let alone more than one this year. It's very hot everyday that's for sure and as shown above people will die from heatstroke in this weather but it's not a heatwave/heatwaves. "Increased temperatures in the country have led to health problems linked to intense heat." Temperatures have not increased and are in the normal range of highs for this time of year. The problem is the temperatures are staying at the high end of the scale and there's no respite. Bloody hot month but not a heatwave.

Agree. Just saying what should happen. Yes the constitution is not a constitution for the people. It's a constitution to maintain the power of the ruling elite and the military and until something changes drastically will remain as such and Thailand will never advance toward a true representative democracy.

The Junta's constitution needs to be completely binned and an entirely new constitution drafted and debated in parliament. Then referundums can be held on drafts.

Sinusitis isn't just a runny nose. Sudafed was very good for relieving it.

I've suffered from sinusitis on and off my entire life. I found pseudoephedrine very effective.

There are headline readers, there are headline and sub-headline readers and then there's readers that read the entire article. The 1st two have no right to comment on the article as it can only be an illinformed comment. Many examples of this on this thread.

So opium dens and magic mushroom pizza shops will be the same. Do you really think so?
