The evaporation varies from 2 mm/day on a cloudy day to 6 mm/day on a sunny day with wind. Source meteoblue.com.

Since a few days I can't reach Thaivisa and the forums.

Now I can only reach them when I use VPN so it looks like I am in a foreign country.

Is this my problem only; is my computer at fault? Or is it something else?

Each country needs to decide on its priorities. Panama has had about 1,400 deaths from Covid-19 per million population. A similar death toll in Thailand would mean almost 100,000 deaths instead of the current 94. I personally agree that saving almost 100,000 lives of your citizens is worth restrictions on tourism. Others might have a different sense of the priorities.

Thailand has 16 times as many people as Panama. 16 times 1400 is about 22000 deaths. Don't exagerate!

 Taweesak Thanadechopol makes a tiny mistake. It is El Nino that enhances rain in South America and diminishes rain in SE Asia. La Nina does the opposite, so more rain than average in Thailand. Another mistake: at the moment the situation in the Pacific is Nino-neutral and it is expected to stay this way the rest of the year.

This for the tide in Ao Nang but you can change to the desired location in the header,

Try the South. It is not polluted except parts of Phuket. You don't need totravel far south: Pracuap Khiri Khan is OK already. Avoid the far south of course.

The embassy of the Netherlands used to give the income letter without checking. This has changed and they actually verify your income. If the Netherlands' embassy can check this, why can't the UK embassy do likewise?

Real milk is sold sugar free. Why not drink real milk?

Two friends from the Netherlands came to visit me. They had weighed their bags at home, 37 kg together.

They checked the luggage in at Amsterdam Schiphol at the KLM counter. It said 37 kg.

In Bangkok they checked in at Bangkok Air for the flight to Krabi. That was an astonishing 47 kg, 7 kg overweight. They had to pay 660 Baht.

Is this another scam? Another way to make some extra bucks?

Best advice Tim.

 

I'm not I'll, just if I travel I could make my hypercacusi and tinnitus worse for life, no cure.

 

I'm now at 13 000 hertz 24/7, it,s like a hiss from tea kettle, but still tolerable. Damaging it further could increase the volume x fold and take this condition to "suicide t" level, where one is so tortured that well..no need to explain....

 

The hypercacusi can also get inflmmed permanently, in that case I might bre homenoud for life and need earplugs and muffs 24/7 outside till the day I die.

 

My condition is acute now, very risky to travel, if the frige noise is loud? If the motorbike at 30 km per hour is loud with muffs AND plugs...how will a car be at 90?...65 decibels they say, then I have to deal with vibrations through road noise that increases bone conduction sound waves further.

 

If I can't get extension.... Maybe by car at 60 km per hour might work...

 

 

 

Sorry Satearn, I don't see any real problem. I have been having tinnitus for about 30 years now. You can get used to it. Now I only hear it when I think about it or someone talks about it. As the sound is permanent and does not change, it should disappear from your consciousness. Just stop complaining and stop talking about it and after some time you will not be annoyed by it any more.

What kind of doctor did you see? I suggest a psychiater to help you ignore it.

My phone went 'Mobile Operation not in operation' last week. I moved the SIM card to my old phone. Then I got 'Unregistered'. So I took it to AIS. They asked me to wait 20 minutes. They issued me with a new SIM card [old one 2G new one 3] and my number remained the same. And they asked me to register. This involved writing my name and signing at the bottom.

It's no coincidence at all that the army comes in all ready to take large steps like having all foreigners and all phone numbers registered. No, it will not be paper registration nor will all documentation they presently gather. There computer system will surely be given to them will rules and regulations, and where to send the funds.

When a new government, per-say, is placed, it always comes from the direction of the IMF families. Yes the IMF is privately owned as is banks with names like

THE FEDERAL RESERVE, CENTRAL BANK OF such and such,,,,,every country has one. They want us enslaved and need records to watch and control us.

It's not the USA, it's the people who are doing the same to them. The people behind the scenes run all governments. 130 countries went bankrupt to the IMF people in 1930, it was then they created the Birth Certificate. The 130 countries promised to repay the IMF people with our labor, without our permission. Other countries have fallen since then and all will.

Watch what the so-called Alcida (sorry, no spell check for this word yet) will do with the Middle-east over the next 5 years. One new Arab state like the Euro nations. A common Americas, a common Asia, not sure where Russia will fit in or whether there will be a fight or not but the end goal is to control all of us in their NEW WORLD ORDER. We work and they enjoy. By the way,,,there are way too many of us on this earth to keep them happy. Many of us must leave.

I'm sure many of you know all this but please do educate others that don't.

Google any portion I just spoke about above.

Alcida is American CIA which was set up for the IMFs interest...Period...the same goes for the new "privet" army they say will be needed in the US.

Thailand will never be the same.

You should consult your psychiater pronto.

In Krabi CAT internet is still unavailable, so I send this message using my back-up Mifi router that connects to DTAC 3G.

Are there more parts of the country that are still without internet?

CAT says there is no problem? Here in Krabi we did not have internet since yesterday afternoon. (sending this message using my back-up router dtac 3 g)

What I miss in the article are some hard facts. How fast is Bangkok sinking? How fast did they think previously it was sinking?

When I do the math I calculate 32 years: 35 m minus 10 m minus 1 m equals 24 m after 2 years. Then divide 24 by .8 and you arrive at another 30 years.

By the way, in the Netherlands they stopped adding sand to the beach. Instead they take sand from farther out at sea and deposit it a strategic position just offshore. Wind and currents will then do the beach sand replenishment.

There is a nice trail up the highest mountain in the Ao Nang area in Krabi. Follow the road from Nong Thale to Khlong Muang, then continue to Thap Khaek and beyond. There is a parking spot at the end of the road. The trail starts there. No round trip; you go up and back down. Splendid view from the mountain top (about 500 m high; start at sea level).

There are guided tracks of a few days in the Khao Phanom Bencha mountains (over 1300 m high). Take the road from Krabi Town to the airport. Just after the Talat Kao traffic lights turn left to Huay To waterfall. The road ends at the national park where you can stay and get more information. There are also a few shorter tracks in that park.

Hi,

I Don't want to take a ferry, and i still don't know if it's possible to cross the land border near Satun now ?

(just wonder because as somebody said some borders can only be crossed by locals of the two countries, Thailand and Malaysia, not by foreigners)

Thanks for any future confirmation !

Yes it is possible and quite comfortable. I did it myself a few times before I had my extension of stay. People in Krabi do it quite often as Satun is not as far away as Sadao, there is no waiting and it is a very short walk to the Malaysian customs (unlike Sadao). The tax free shop has not too much choice however.

On one of my websites I have put together a collection of weather information for Thailand.

The sources of this infos are mainly TMD and Aeromet TMD.

Overview weather in Thailand

You missed this site specialised for Krabi Province: www.aonangweather.com

still clear skies in samui and no wind

Don't just watch the sky: there are more options to learn more:

Does anyone know if or when it is meant to hit samui ?

Don't you worry. The Thai Met Office usually warns for heavy rain for days to come when the disturbance has passed already, yesterday 61 mm at Nakhon Si Thammarat.

The American Met Office, though not very reliable either, is usually better than the Thai. They calculate no rain on Tuesday and minor amounts (less than 10 mm) from Wednesday, most days much less than 10 mm.

For non-metric Americans: 25.4 mm=1 inch

Yes, this is normal. In October the wind becomes northeasterly. This wind is the trade wind, in Thailand also called the northeast monsoon.

The southern Thai east coast (Chumphon, Ko Samui, Hat Yai) is exposed to this wind. Whereas the dry season starts in most of Thailand, a short but often heavy rainy season starts at the east coast. The heaviest rains slowly move to a more southerly position.

Many respondents seem to think that it was pure luck that all the passengers had safety vests.

It was not. In Krabi and Ao Nang police strictly enforce safety regulations.

Disturbing news in this thread. I am not interested at all in gambling or porn sites, am not even interested in U-t. But I cannot stand someone else deciding what I am allowed to read.

So I went to google and yes! Five minutes later I entered the U-t site.

Now I feel OK again. I resume my old habits and will not visit these sites any more.
