Mai Hon Son Cold Spell

Featured Replies

From the [nation]

Thirayuth Chandiswong, chief of the Mae Hong Song Civil Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Office, said the declaration of the disaster zones allowed the provincial administration to use an urgent fund of Bt1 million from the Interior Ministry to buy winter clothing for some 138,200 people affected by the cold spell

1 million baht for 138,000 people equals 7 baht per person?

I wonder what kind of winter clothing you can buy for 7 baht?

In Chiang Rai province it usually means a blanket giveaway. Obviously some need it more than others, which doesn't stop everyone turning up hoping for a free blanket. When they run out that's it.

A woman I know once went down and got one for the dog. :)

Every year huge quantities of blankets are handed out and I often wonder what happened to last years'.

A cynical friend has a theory.

The rural response to the cold is usually to open all doors and windows, rush outside, light a little fire and huddle round it. The blankets are used for lighting the fires!
