Sparkles Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 3:00 AM the Doi Kham and Wat Pong Noi area had a thunderstorm park overhead for about an hour. Dozens of huge strokes and immediate thunder. Was very very loud. Temperature here right now is 22 degrees C. Nice relief from the past week. 11am Sunday in Hang Dong and the rain just easing but its been raining all night with no wind. On the strength of the weather forecast which said very little chance of rain I went out and bought an air con so am claiming all credit for hours of lovely rain.

Ulysses G. Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I hope that it keeps up until September. Besides the great fruit, I do not have much use for hot season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccheroncini Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Agree. At Doi Kam, fresh herbs like Thyme, Basils only 10 bahts a box. Good size bag of Tomato also only 10 bahts. Lychee and Mango are in season too. I hope that it keeps up until September. Besides the great fruit, I do not have much use for hot season.

T_Dog Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 sendbaht..... Hey, did you think you would get the last word on this thread? Okay, you still might! Over 4000 views, 189 posts about........ rain! I guess expats are really a lot like farmers. We have an outbreak of bugs and frogs after the deluge two days ago. Seems like each frog species is trying to out-croak the others once the sun is below the horizon. Tree frogs on the windows in the morning and toads on the terrace.

Good size bag of Tomato also only 10 bahts.Lychee and Mango are in season too. Maccheroncini, Where exactly is this market at Doi Kham, and what are the hours. I've seen one very small covered area opposite the Ratchapruek Gardens, but it seems to be a wholesale market only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) Where exactly is this market at Doi Kham, and what are the hours. It's here: And it's a shop, not a market. Doi Kham is a brand for Royal Product stuff. No relation to the mountain & temple of the same name in the Mae Hia area past the Royal Flora. Hours are 8am to .... I dunno, 6pm or something. Open every day. Edited April 30, 2009 by WinnieTheKhwai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elektrified Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Anybody else getting many of the brown-winged side effects from last night's rain? The gecko population at my house is feasting upon the annual buffet! We're getting them by the millions. They are everywhere in Chiang Mai it seems. They make a hel_l of a mess! The tookay are even coming down off the roof onto the windows to feast. There are toads everywhere in the moobaan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 And not just gecko's and toads.. You can make delicious bugbutter with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
