Thanks for the snaps - just went outside and had a look - still there. I've never noticed it before.

[Sir Burr]

Quite common.

Ice crystals at high altitude.

[Cuban]

Happens from time to time - caused by small ice crystals in high level clouds.

The last one I saw in Pattaya was at night with a ring around the moon.

[LivinLOS]

Was around the moon very distinctly last night..

My buddy was saying this was very visible today but I missed it..

[LivinLOS]

Ohh and Thais told him it meant another cyclone was coming !!!

Ohh and Thais told him it meant another cyclone was coming !!!

Tell them no, it's a tsunami warning.

[badgerbailey]

It can actually mean that another cyclone is coming, or hurricane or tropical storm, caused by thin high clouds around the periphery of the storm system.

I think it's called a Corona.

A ring around the moon means something else entirely...........

No problem, you just have to sacrifice a virgin to appease the sun gods.

Oh I forgot you're in Thailand....sorry no virgins available.

You're all doomed.
