You are right. Normally no plural form is used for rain and hail. However, it is by no means a grammatical mistake to use the plural form with both nouns.

Hey !!!! Yes, rains and hails is incorrect, BUT, the languages in this country is Thai, not English.

Thai people do not have to speak English properly. They are doing it as A Respectful Favor to Us Farangs.

There is nothing wrong, as a matter of fact it is right, to point out incorrect usage of words or sentences in a foreign language. Nobody is doing a favour to anybody by learning a second, foreign language properly, in particular a language universally used as a second language, such as English.
