from bangkok post.
Here is the forcast for the coming weeks in Thailand.
situation unsettled with heavy outbreaks of whistles and
blasts of hot air in bangkok,leading to widespread deafness and
a possible red-shirted front moving down from the north and northeast.
occasional storms in a teacup,with widespread stuff and nonsense leading
to periods of gale force promises. appearance of polar vortex over Nakhon Nowhere
may cool things down a bit.relative humbug 95%.
future outlook,pretty bleak.
