The OP isn't asking that.  He's saying it is hotter than usual and that it is unusual to find it so hot at night.

Ah, well that makes it a so much more interesting thread, then.

Bad, spelled that way.

This current heat wave is unusual in my experience.  I live on the tenth floor of a condo just off Jomtien Beach.   Yesterday, I put a decent quality digital thermometer on a table near my open balcony but out of direct sunlight. Throughout the day, from 1pm on it read between 33.5 - 33.7. That evening around 9pm, it was still 33.5.  When I got up at 3am to take a wizz, it was 33.3. Only at 7am was it below 33, at 32.6. That's just only 1.1 degree variation over 24 hours.  I never recall night time staying so hot ever before.

Really?  I wonder why no one else has noticed that and started a thread about it being hot in Thailand in the summer?

How scary is that?

Not at all "scary".

Viva, Sukhumvit Soi 8; The Sportsman, Soi 13; Breakers Live, Soi 13; O'shea's, The Robin Hood and The Royal Oak in Soi 31/1 and a place directly opposite 7-Heaven in a small sub-soi off Soi 33 for starters. 

In terms of quality, as they all come from the same place and sell out very quickly, there's practically no difference.  I'd guess that all the other places that have it are much the same, the biggest difference being the type of place that you're looking for.

Nonsense, the report in the Bangkok Post says nothing of the sort.

It wouldn't be the first time that has happened.

Presumably, you can provide details of the other times that it has been done by Thai IOs at the airport to back up your claim?

Seriously?   Ridiculous.

I once had a condom lodge in my PP the same way. I was fortunate to notice it before I handed it over.

You'd have been fine, importing and possessing rubbers is legal here.

But you get what you pay for.  I agree that Swensen's is a good alternative to HD, though.

My point was that those stats are meaningless because they are so out of date.   Read what I posted, i.e. "that five-year old report".  Did I post, "that recent thread"?  The answer is NO.

I can see why your known on this forum as Mr. Picky 

And those stats are the latest available and I sure the mod that posted those stats 2 months ago would disagree with you on the point of them being  meaningless or not 

And I can see why you are known on this forum as "Mr Didn't-Read-The-Post".

Being the latest available does not make them less irrelevant seven years later, neither does your speculatively confident opinion of Mike Lister's opinion of my comment.

You did.  You clipped my post to a couple of words and posted it as my quote which altered the context from a question to a statement

You did.  You clipped my post to a couple of words and posted it as my quote which altered the context from a question to a statement and was, therefore, inaccurate, that is a transgression of the rules here.

Maybe not. On Thai TV it's told there is a problem with the last will. It was written on a computer and not signed by 2 independent witnesses. So, it might not be valid😩

The OP states that it is valid.

I learned on TV that the will was written on a computer and not by hand. So the authorities will have a say on it😵‍💫. It's not valid😩

No, it's obvious he was murdered by the maid and her boyfriend before forcing the expat to write the will.

0.5% foreigners

"Foreigners" are more than 5% of the population, not a negligible number.

Well done for misquoting me and contravening the forum rules by clipping my post to alter the context and make it appear that my question was a statement, it was not.  My actual post was...

"...to be as accurate as any of us can be, does 99.5% Thais/0.5% foreigners make you happier?" 

18 hours ago, Lorry said:

As for "expats", the term you used in your first post, the numbers depend on what you mean. Only farang? Only western farang (i.e. not including Russians)?

 

I guess you know all this. 

 ""...expats", the term you used...I guess you know all this."

What I do know is that it was OldmanJ who specified expats originally in the post to which I responded, not I.   I guess you don't know all this?...

"Is it only me or does it appear that the Thai government are trying to slowly drive us expats out..."
