THAILAND HEAT SOON TO CRUSH SOULS AT 40C BANGKOK — Summer is here in full force, and it’s now time to consider an aircon staycation at least until the water guns come out in a month’s time. All of Thailand will experience peak heat of 40C next week, state meteorologists announced Friday, a normal trend for mid-March. The hottest Bangkok will get is between 34C and 40C. Nationwide, the hottest days will be Tuesday through Thursday. The northern provinces are warned to be ready for summer storms. A high-pressure system moving in from China, coupled with the existing weather conditions, will result in high humidity, rainfall and even more heat. www.khaosodenglish.com/featured/2018/03/16/heat-soon-to-crush-souls-at-40c/ |

People around me here in Bangkok have been complaining for days. Even I saw myself forced to go work early to avoid the hot outside. Drawback is the going home late  Mind you in between sometimes I'm freezing my a.. off stuck in a computer room  |

Soul crushing? Oh stop whining. My soul doesn't even bother coming out of hibernation below about 35 degrees. At 40 degrees, I'm just starting to boogie.

Just back from 7 with a pack of batteries for the a/c remotes.
Dont know what the problem is, go from an aircon house to an aircon car to an aircon building.
The peasants on public transportation may have a different outlook.

Sitting under a shady tree at 40C with a cold beer in my hand in Australia and I feel quite pleasant.
Sitting under a shady tree at 40C with a cold beer in my hand in Thailand and I want to burn the place to the ground.

Your situation is a God-send for a flock of doctors, psychiatrists and health guru's. Personally I would suggest a scientific approach with changing certain variables you listed but gave the same value. For instance, would the Ozzie situation deteriorate if the beer was lukewarm or simply withheld? Would such effect the Thai situation? Is Thai 40C different from Ozzie 40C? Do Thai trees give more shade, or should we try to standardize on the type of tree? What if we add another variable? Would the Thai situation improve with the 'right' personel waving big palmleaves for cooling? Now same in Oz but local people  I think I need to try some crowd funding to get to the bottom of this |

The peasants on public transportation may have a different outlook. But those periods getting from the house to the car, car to aircon building are very stressful indeed, i need to retire to my airconned safe place.to think about this and i might even get offended  |

Sometimes we have to endure the worst to enjoy and appreciate a shot of the good stuff. |

I passed Intermediate City and Guilds in Hand Composition (typesetting). Ha. I would like to see one of those fan-wallah gits with a stick full of six point. C&G my axxx.
(mis-spelt effing typesetting hence the edit. Where did it all go wrong?)
