  1. How about trying to rewrite this mix of AI and translation app to something that resembales a decent article. Nah! Too hard. Have to think and actually do some work.
  2. The thing is you are allowed to say this but if I was to counter your post my post would be removed as disinformation and or conspiracy theory. Bit like when saying the vaccines can cause vaccine injury or death was misinformation/conspiracy but is now fact.
  3. Serettha is Thaksin's puppet as everyone knows but PTP is beholden to the military elite no matter who is no.1 in PTP.
  4. Agree the 'feels like' or heat index is closer to reality. Quite simply though it's bloody hot and bloody hot every day and there is no let up.
  5. I see lots of confused emojis to my quoted post. I suggest those who are confused look up the definition of what a heatwave actually is. What we are experiencing is not a heatwave within the definition. What it is is continuous highs at the higher end of April maximum temperatures. This is the unusual part. Maximums are not unusually high for April.
  6. Maybe but I'm guessing mid to late May. Next month is still going to be very hot with increasing humidity .
  7. As we all know what is unlawful for some is ignored/swept under the carpet for others here in The Land of Smiles which is totally corrupt from the very top.
  8. I'll give you an answer to that. Aint nobody clean at the high levels of either the RTP or the military. Add immigation, customs, all govt. depts. etc. to the list.
  9. 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.
  10. Might be 100% better but I'll bet it's still ChatGPT generated as this article is.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. It's so the Chinese can look out of the windows at what's on offer.
  14. 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.
  15. Please supply a pic of you on your horse. Or just a puicture of your horse. We would all love to see it.
  16. 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.
  17. Buses full of Chinese zero baht tourists causing traffic jams for example.
  18. 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.
  19. Just before dawn. It's pretty much 30ish for the rest of the night.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. No mate it wasn't in Thailand. I did think after I posted that life expectancy might be lower here.
