Heatwave Alert: Thailand Expects 43C Weather and Severe Summer Storms
dinsdale replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Again and again we see heatwave. It's not. What it is is an extended period of hot weather with maximums and minimums being in the normal range for April. If I start seeing several days in a row of 43, 44, 45°C+ then I will agree with the term heatwave being used as these would be unusally high temperatures for April and therefore would fall within the definition of heatwave. As it is this is not the case. It's just very hot everyday. This is what make this year different to previous. No break from the heat but not a heatwave. -

Govt brushes off central bank’s call for review of digital wallet scheme
dinsdale replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I disagree. People will take the money BUT they will not forget the what traitorous PTP has done. PTP will be severly punished for getting into bed with the military elite. Remember the military elite is the enemy of the PTP support base. -

This doesn't make sense. If it's 34°C or 40°C outside it would still be 27°C in a room cooled to 27°C. -

dinsdale replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The thing is they promised the money with absolutely no idea where it would come from. You say "If no pay they can forget the next election" remember this populist BS from PTP was announced as an election platform an election they failed to win. Pay or not the results of the next election will be like the last only the 3rd iteration of FFP will win by a larger margin. -

When I saw the healine I immidiately thought Yakuza. Yakuza, Triads, Russian mafia etc are I guess the 'quality' tourists Thailand wants. -
Bangkok & Chiang Mai Ranked among Top Asian Cities for Expats in 2024
dinsdale replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Interesting isn't it how if we post anything that needs sourcing without sourcing said post it's immidiately deleted but this unsourced rubbish is ok. This is pure nonsense based in no way in reality and completely unsourced. It's nothing but a waste of space. This AI article must be talking about a different Bangkok and Thailand to the one we know. -
Thailand Takes Action on Refugee Crisis Amid Thai-Myanmar Dispute

Pity they didn't take action against the coup makers at the time but of course it was Thailand's coup makers in power at the same time. -

Read the article. I pretty sure it's not saying that magic mushie pizza shops are going to be popping up everywhere. -
PEA advises on cost-effective air conditioners amid Thai heat
dinsdale replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
26, 27 is fine for me. As for what BTU to get there are calculators on the net. Another misconception is to set at say 18 to really cool the room down then turn it up to a higher level, let's say 26. This is both more expensive and totally unnecessary. If you want the room at 26 but set to 18 to cool the room down then bump it up to 26 the temp will of course need to be 26 at some stage on it's way down. Set at 26 is all that's needed. It took me a while to explain this one to the missus. -
Bangkok sizzles at 40°C, heatwave scorches Thailand at 43°C
dinsdale replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
The humidity I'm talking about is the 80%+ we get in the run up to the wet. It just washes me out. Humidity this month hasn't been high where I am with it being a fairly constant low 50's to low 60's %. -
Bangkok sizzles at 40°C, heatwave scorches Thailand at 43°C
dinsdale replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yes I was one of them initially and i was wrong. It is different this month. Maximums are stll pretty much the same, high 30's, low 40's with high 20's overnight which is consistent with April temps but the difference this year is it's everyday. -

I agree about the humidity. That's the one that really does me in. I swear I perspire in the shower on the really humid days. Have a shower, get out and within minutes wet from perspiration. I take mineral salts on those days. e.g. .... -
Bangkok sizzles at 40°C, heatwave scorches Thailand at 43°C
dinsdale replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Yes it is and as I said temperatures next month will remain hot but will at some stage drop in May. Drop by how much and when who knows. So being that you seem to have misunderstood my point here it is again. Next month (May) will remain hot. Sometime next month (May) the temperature should come down a bit. Humidity will start to increase in the run up to the wet season. -
How about the rest of it like not spending one second in a cell and pretty much going straight to the police hospital where no contact to verify his condition was allowed. The release, pardon and parole are just other factors in this whole corrupt episode. Having said this not one person in Thailand would be suprised by the outcome. This was all part of the deal to bring him back, corrupt a democratic election by denying the rightful winners office by the use of the junta's non-elected senate and then make a coalition with the military elite.

Bangkok sizzles at 40°C, heatwave scorches Thailand at 43°C
dinsdale replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It will be the same next month and will continue. Temps should drop a bit in May but there will be a dramatic increase in humidity as the wet season approaches. When the wet breaks is another thing because last year it was very late, very short and not very wet. -
Bangkok sizzles at 40°C, heatwave scorches Thailand at 43°C
dinsdale replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
Definitely a hot month and overall hotter than the last few years but even then temps ranged in the high 30's and low 40's so it's not that temperatures are unusually high it's more that it's everyday. Is it a heatwave? Not IMO just a hot month as a heat wave as previously explained is an extended period of unusually high day and night temperatures. -
Thailand offers visa-free travel to Russian visitors for 3 months

Come in as tourist. Get ed. visa and set up dodgy company. Buy property in companies name. Not to mention crime syndicates moving in. Thailand: We want quality tourists. How about Russian mafia? Thailand: They'll do. They spend money don't they? -

Thai man accuses RTP police chief of scapegoating in rape case
dinsdale replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Apart from this case looking to be another useless and corrupt episode by the BIB and the chances of this bloke being innocent being extremely high when he was found guilty this was his senetence. Two years and eight months. Two years and eight months for the rape of a five year old. Say something bad about the king and you can get >15 years. Of course due to the BIB the actual perpetrator is still around somewhere. -

Don't forget Myanmar. Xi's expansionism under the guise of economic assistance. -
Cheers. So in no way representative of the people's wishes and fully open to corruption. Not what I'd call a democratic process in electing a senate and those who will sit within. Edit: Having read this well done @candide. Everyone on here should read this. It is an opininion piece but it makes for interesting reading as well as despair. The whole thing is bent. The senate should be elected by the people not this inbred, corrupt, elitist rubbish for the chosen few. The term democracy has no place in this so-called election.
