Try in the food forum? I don't know if it is significant but a Thai told me that Thai honey can have 80% sugar added.

Interesting question, lets try cooked's suggestion and move this to the food forum and see if we can get you an answer.

I have been taking honey in my tea instead of sugar , I exercise ( not to strenuously ) but I was putting weight on.

A doctor told me the other day that Thai honey is full of sugar.

Most likely the honey that you are buying is not pure honey.  We buy pure honey locally, some from hives harvested from our orchard.  It is sold in "Hong Thong" bottles with the label still on.  Small bottle cost 250baht, large (700ml) 450 baht.  If we put it in the fridge it turns to a massive lump of sugar until it is warmed.  I just looked at the bottle in the fridge, a big lump of sugar, the one in the closet is pourable.

Some honeys will crystalize, leaving coarse large crystals like

brown sugar, it's still good, you can put the jar in warm water

for a while and it should melt back to it's natural form.

Honeys vary according to the flowers foraged by the bees. Some crystallise faster than others. Ling heather honey is very slow to crystallise (typically several years). Some Thai honeys would appear to be the same.

Incidentally, there's absolutely no reason to keep honey in the fridge. It'll last for decades - even centuries - at room temperature without spoiling.

If you have a Thai wife that thinks that it needs to be kept in the fridge then that the only reason that you need!!!
