    It was. In another place I noticed birds had bath and drink in waterbowl of dog, so then I put out water especially for them.

    A bucket filled to top. However then the dogs also liked it, even the dog who had his own bowl. It became a water bucket for all. 

    But the bird coming when watering, was quite extraordinary, I thought. Yes the bird must have been a sort of dehydrated, doing so. 

     

    Yes, everyone gets thirsty. Good for you. Keep it up. Thankyou.

    Last year in Thailand, I was watering a tree. Sprayed on upper section, wild bird knew probably what I was doing.

    It flew into the tree and had a shower and drink with the water I sprayed. For me it was amazing to experience.

    Clever bird.

     

    Probably a hot and thirsty bird trying to survive. A lot of them about looking for any waater when it gets dry. 

     

    Was it this time of year?

    Seems that some on this Chiang Mai Forum believe that the Chiang Mai Weather I remarked upon in this Topic also applies to...

     

    PRANBURI District.

     

    This Topic is NOT commenting on Pranburi District, on Pattaya, or on the weather and air temperatures experienced in RANONG.

    Weather is LOCAL, friends.

    Just like Politics.

    I thought that this guy, and others, would have known about this, and that there was no reason for me to add this WARNING to my Original Post, but...

    Apparently, this is not the case.

    Also,....

    Please feel free to contact TMD for more authoritative information.

     

    What is TMD?

    I look at TMD data every day, especially w.r.t CM. I also see weather drama merchants on here, almost every day.

    The electric power here failed just 2 seconds after I pushed the submit button... 

     

    Tree branches blew against power lines causing them to light up in a small blaze. 

     

    Still fine, and seeing the rain was worth it. 

     

    I just hope the power will be restored before it gets too hot in here, and before the humidity goes through the roof. 

     

    The weather this year has been among the hottest I recall in Chiang Mai. No problem for me, but the rain is a very pleasant change. 

     

    And, all living things require water.... 

     

    Especially, mangoes. 

     

     

     

    A pity it wasn't 2 seconds before.

    Dont see anything special about this  year, for the last 3-4 years have had  decent rain, but 5-6 years  ago we had 2-3 years very very  dry, this year is also very dry but not as hot as the dry spell  5-6 years ago when some days went to 42 c, now see 40.4 on about 5  days so far PRANBURI area, definitely less rain this year................so far.

     

    Well done.

    Thank the gods for the rain, this year!

     

    This past hot-season's heat, this 2024, has been one record books.

     

    I know that I feel better, right now, looking outside my picture window at the buckets of rain now pouring down and cascading off my roof.

     

    It's a new day!

     

    Things can only become better.

     

    I plan to do a lot more exercise this raining season.

     

    How will  you, too benefit?

     

    Best regards,

    And, now in the rain.....,

     

    Gamma

     

     

    Note:  I do not even care if the power fails for awhile!.....

     

     

    Coming down in BUCKETS!

     

     

     

    What is a T Storm? Is that like a storm in a T cup?

     

    The hot season is not past - it's just started - but not with record temperatures as yet.

     

    Might be a new day but that's all.

    Not sure where you are and where you are having your hip replacement done but you might want to bear in mind that it is possible to be driving again within 2-3 weeks. Average I think is 4 weeks (like me). However most doctors recommend 6 weeks (probably CYA). So, if you are having surgery in Thailand, then if you could arrange it a couple of months before you go to the UK, then you should be able to drive there yourself.

     

    Was just googling around and this popped up FYI:

    I am not sure if this is the correct forum to ask. My wife comes to the UK every year for a few months. This year I am having a hip replacement so cannot drive. My wife Haa a full Thai driving licence and I know she can drive in the UK for up to a year. What about insurance. Does anyone have experience of adding a Thai to a UK insurance policy. How much it will cost? Any idea of insurance companies who will do this?

     

    Thanks

    Typical falang rhetoric, reality is Brits have driven themselves out by deciding to stay at home. The majority of Brits do not like foreigners unless there is some benefit involved. They wanted the sun on the Costa del Fortune and then changed the environment to suit themselves.

    The benefits that attracted Brits are evaporating, in my first decade prices hardly moved but since 2010 there has been a significant upward trend in Thai wages bringing the inflation factor into play, particularly with accommodation. Inflation of course has a significant effect on every nationality in receipt of a frozen pension so not surprising the numbers are reducing. Remind me how many nationalities are on a frozen pension.

    Brexit was a stark reminder on how little respect the English have for foreign nationals and Thailand trying to clarify and diversify doesn't sit well, and not just with Brits.

     

    Bexit! BLS. You just can't help yourself, Sandy.

    Gold Star Families Respond to Despicable Trump Campaign Attacks

     

    This misquote is from 6 years ago and certainly not this campaign. Never shown nor conceded.

     

    Just heresay and lies from the Demoncrats who continue to dig up old carp as usual.

    You might want to have another look: 


    “During his remarks, Biden drew a contrast between the military service of his family and Trump's inflammatory rhetoric about military members, such as Trump's calling fallen soldiers "suckers" and "losers," according to a report in The Atlantic. Trump denied making those remarks.”

     

    Yes I did see = edited above. But Biden shouldn't be lecturing anybody on respect for the military after fhis shameful display at Dover AFB as below:

    Many years ago a friend and his girlfriend were in a tuktuk with 2 suitcases in bangkok going to the airport during songkran.
    My friend was getting so pi77ed off at getting wet and shouting at everyone.
    They were both soaked and covered in powder
    All there clothes in the suitcase were soaked and were just about to have a flight back to the uk

    worst part was it was not a direct flight so that added to the nightmare

    His girlfriend said he was going crazy telling everyone to fk off
    I would have loved to have been in a taxi next to them

     

     

    Must have been a pair of dimwits to use a tuktuk going for any flight at Songkran.

     

    Unless it was in a hot air ballon.
