Maybe.

Being a weather forecaster or meteorologist is like being a politician. You can lie and tell what ifs and still keep your job....

It's good that I need to pay only Feb electricity until end of this month.

Um, that’s not all that’s sizzling...take a look at the mighty Baht.  While most western currencies wither, the Baht ascends again.  Why?

It's always hot in Thailand, until it's not.

Rather under estimated. In Udon Thani the temperature has peaked at over 39 Centigrade every day bar one for the last 2 weeks. Highest 43 Centigrade. And no rain (in our village).

Because when the Western currency falls, it has less value buying Baht, so the Baht has risen That's just Maths.

The question perhaps should have been is why have Western currencies fallen against the Baht? Simple, fewer cases in Thailand, realistic chance of Thailand opening up in the next month or two and business can resume. Numbers in Western countries make for miserable reading.
