chiang mai Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Yes that klong behind Gecko Garden isnt a pretty sight/site either. A lot of the klongs in town a rather rank... so glad Im not living near them, and they cant be good for anyones health. Hopefully more rain will wash all the filth away although some probably need a darn good dredging too. What causes the klong to have black stinking water like fluid ? Household effluent, mostly grey water, showers, washing machines etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the klongs in town a rather rank... so glad Im not living near them, and they cant be good for anyones health. That's the Mae Kha Canal that the story is about. It's exceptionally nasty, an open sewer basically, right through town. Solution: provide proper sewers to all the houses/communities alongside it. I seem to recall I pay tax money for such things.. but no, we get jet fighters and aircraft carriers that fall apart within months, not plumbing or quality education. /rant You forgot the submarines. Proper sewage is a luxury, submarines are a necessity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Konini Posted February 27, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2016 You lot are so Glass-Half-Empty. Where is your optimism? Mozzies are very choosy, they aren't going to lay their eggs on nasty water are they? What looks to the uninitiated like uncaring, unhealthy neglect is actually the cutting edge of disease prevention. /s 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricardo Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 You forgot the submarines. Proper sewage is a luxury, submarines are a necessity. I thought the PM decided, not to go ahead with buying those, at least for the meanwhile ? The som-tam lady, fount of all wisdom on Thai matters, told me that the quote for washing them every week was simply exhorbitant ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMac Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I thought the PM decided, not to go ahead with buying those, at least for the meanwhile ? The submarines are required to protect the big firewall. Both were wrongly underestimated in the beginning, now after enough studies were done, it should be clear that the submarines will be an essential part to protect the big gateway to come. Businesses such as russian weapon manufacturing are already queuing. Nobody can deny that forth looking wisdom of the great leader! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tywais reminds us that this is not the hot season, not yet, it's the shoulder season, which in my book is quite cool thus far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinLOS Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Agreed.. Tho generally we go from cool (and dry) to hot (and dry) without much indication of wet / rain.. I was just wistfully thinking we could skip hot season.. Least favorite here.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMBob Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) Just had 5 minutes of drizzle in Mae Rim. I'll take it! Just started sprinkling here at CMU also. And it stopped, about 5 minutes also. Damn, missed out on it. I'm just east of Sirimangkalajarn and actually went outside 15 minutes ago because it looked strangely dark for mid-afternoon; but, alas, no sprinkles here and it's back to blaring sunshine (well, whatever part of the sunshine that can actually make it through the smog).

NancyL Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I counted about 37 drops on the window panes of the condo here on Huay Kaew. Whoopie! Hubby even tempted fate by going for a boys night out that involves walking around in Santhiman with his buddies. So far, he's still out there.

mania Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 It is funny how every year right before Songkran we get some almost rain. Makes us think oh maybe it will be raining during Songkran. But the last 4 years never did as far as I recall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
