Popular Post webfact Posted May 23 Popular Post Share Posted May 23 A traveller’s recent trip to Chiang Mai took an unexpected turn when a planned relaxing bath turned into an encounter with a swarm of insects. The traveller chose a picturesque accommodation with a bathtub on the balcony, offering stunning mountain views during the day. However, as night fell, the situation drastically changed. Dhiwa Bhochawatt’s post on Facebook detailed the surprising event, highlighting how the serene bath became a scene filled with termite wings. “I planned to soak in a rose petal bath, but it turned into a bath bomb of termite wings. It’s like karma came in this form.” Photos accompanying the post showed the bathtub filled with termite wings, and in some cases, entire insects. The sheer number of termites was so overwhelming that the water’s surface was entirely covered. Even after draining the water, a significant amount of insect debris remained. Speaking to a local news team, Dhiwa explained that the choice to stay close to nature led to this encounter. The incident occurred during the rainy season, a natural phenomenon and not the fault of the accommodation. Dhiwa emphasised that such events are to be expected when staying in such natural settings. The post quickly went viral, garnering numerous likes and comments. Many netizens found the situation both amusing and relatable. Some commented on the need to avoid eating certain dishes during the rainy season, humorously noting that no one would be around to handle the termite problem, reported Sanook. Others suggested that the insects could be fried with salt, adding a culinary twist to the situation. by Puntid Tantivangphaisal Photo courtesy of Sanook Full story: The Thaiger 2024-05-23 Get our Daily Newsletter - Click HERE to subscribe 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the first big rain storm here in Siem Reap a few days ago, we were subjected to millions of the termites swarming everywhere. All main lights outside and inside my apartment were turned off but even so, some found their way in and scattered dead on the tile floor (aerosol spray). Stock photo of swarming termites - just like I experienced! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just button down all hatches, close all curtains and use only dim lights. I hate meng mows almost as much as cockroaches but at least it's only once a year after the first heavy rain.

Moncul Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 What looks to be decent accommodation would probably have warned him this was coming but, hey, who wants to miss the opportunity for a few "likes" and "shares"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
