I'm actually in Norway close to Oslo we got on thursday morning snow, the first time this winter and still snowning until now about 30 cm now.

Only around 0 Celscius the most bloody condition, snow is slippery like hell.

I prefere -15 C to -20 C then the snow having a real grip.

Oh before I forget last year we had only 4 mtr. snow here, the record was over 8 mtr.

That somethings about winter not what the most of you talking about.

Carpe diem

In the last week the wind which has been mostly from the south has now gone round to the northerly quarter and is definitely much cooler, very noticeable in the early mornings.

Ahhhhhh, snow in Thailand and the pigs flying all over the sky.

Still 29 Celsius in Khon Kaen......still hot.........when is the snow coming?

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

Just like the ones I used to know

Where the treetops glisten,

and children listen

To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

With every Christmas card I write

May your days be merry and bright

And may all your Christmases be white

Here in Bangkok it is snowing at the moment

Costas you are Greek, you don't know snow.....Greece is a warm paradise like Thailand all we nordish want to be there.....

Greece having more similarity to Thailand as only the Weather.

In top of the list is the Corruption in the government system.

I first wanted to write "No because....." but than I didn't found any because.....

I think on the government system you might be right, but the other basics are in Thailand better. The state companies (railway) are way better managed in Thailand. The government changes often and fast in Thailand which makes a deep root power abuse more difficult.

And the people are different. I can't understand why the long time unpaid police fight the demonstrators in Greece. Why they don't let them into parliament? Thai Police would just go home if they wouldn't get a salary for a couple of month.

It has similarities but it isn't the same. Thailand is more able to fix the problems.
