please ... feel free to edit/append as necessary ...

 

1. irrelevant: I am either outside the Kingdom, dead, or comatose.

 

2. do nothing special except maybe more showers.

 

3. stay in my man/woman/trans cave surrounded by air-cons, and air-cleaners

 

4. use drink and/or drugs and/or sex to remain oblivious

 

5. go stay/remain in a hotel

 

6. stay/remain in a hospital

 

7. make floral arrangements to give to on-duty police officers near the moat

 

8. write numerous posts on ThaiVisa complaining about ... whatever.

 

9. write numerous posts on ThaiVisa telling complainers it's not as bad as they think it is.

 

10. engage in water-fights

 

Right now, given how wimpy my air-con is, I lean towards #5.

I use the centigrade temperature scale, like most of the world, and the lower numbers make it feel a lot less hot. But I did lay in extra stocks of ice, gin, tonic, beer, wine and fruit juice. Every nook and cranny of both my bar fridges are now full so I should be able to get through the next 5 days without dehydration or needing to venture into the water wars. 

 

I hope everyone has a most enjoyable Songkran, or Songkarn as the Tops promo emails call it. We all need a respite from the election, the pollution and other irritations. May a good time be had by all.

Sa wa dee pi mai!

 

Stay cool and dry except for a few splashes to welcome in the new year!

I'll avoid walking around the Moat this year, as I have an eye infection already and don't want to exacerbate it with swamp water, but I will stroll around the neighborhood for an hour or two while shopping.

Also the occasional in-house service call from Thai Friendly stress relief specialist.

In my GF's village to escape the madness that is Chiang Mai. Not getting wet; however, fireworks at 3 am is disturbing my beauty sleep. Travelling by car and eschewing the scooter until it's over.

Had the aircons cleaned and recharged a few days ago. 600 baht. A lot to like about the cost of living here.

Thanks for the sympathy quotient. I was wondering how the dead ones would respond to the OP.

Dead is Chaing Mai, although Southern US Retireent communites come dead close...

Oh dear. You're on your Chiang Mai shtick again. The emotion of that thought has evidently provoked you into multiple misspellings.

I suggest a cup of tea, a Bex, and a good lie down.

102F , such a quaint measure of temperature measurement.

Not to mention US gallons and grains per cubic foot. For a leader in technology, the USA can be remarkably archaic in some aspects.
