15C Near Chiang Mai = Official Disaster Zone

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

15C Near Chiang Mai = Official Disaster Zone

Post by wackyjacky »

This is funny. It goes down to 60 F at night, so you're eligible for Disaster Funds. LINK: http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/five-d ... ected-zone xxxxxxxxxxx The Chiang Mai’s Public Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Centre has declared five districts of the province disaster-affected zone due to cold weather.
The temperature in Om Koy, Mae Chaem, Kalayaniwattana, Wiang Hang and Fang districts has falled below 15 degree Celsius for three consecutive days prompting the centre to declare them disaster-affected area eligible to public disaster fund to help the affected residents.

MrPornthepCharoensuebsakul, chief of DoiInthanont national park in Chom Thong district, said that mountain-top temperature has dropped to 5 degree Celsius causing frost in different places prompting many tourists to visit the park to experience the cold weather.

The park chief said over 6,000 tourists visited the mountain-top park last weekend. He expected more tourists this weekend.
