Local tourism numbers are down, both foreign and domestic

Hotels are looking for alternate ways of creating income, as more hotels keep appearing ⤵️ Link




There's no statistic of how many tourists are westerners. one Ai guess puts that number between 1,000 to 5,000 per year.

Seems to me there are way too many hotels in the area

Financial woes brewing in paradise, ðŸ˜ē ðŸ˜ē seems it's a forever headline

Multinational balancing act that seems to treat one country better than all the others ⤵️ link

Thailand is over video ⤵️  seems to me a fairly accurate 'opinion piece,' most of which I agree with. 12:00 minutes into the video mention of the aging Thai population got my attention.  See it all around me

Heavy Rain 70-90% Wednesday through Friday

The majority of recebnt heavy rains alerts have been false alarms. Sure there have been some heavy downpours, but they'e been less than naromal rainy season. This may all change within two days. A few weather maps are showing an unnamed system coming this way. Odds seem to be that it's going to cause heavy rains locally.

After today's extreme heat temperatures should ease slowly over the coming days

Continue watering your garden for a few more days. There is only a slight chance of scattered showers early this afternoon, so don’t count on Mother Nature just yet.

The forecast looks more promising beginning next week, with rain chances increasing noticeably.

In the meantime, the humidity is making it feel far hotter than the thermometer suggests. While actual temperatures may reach around 36°C today , it could feel like 44–46°C in the sun.

If you haven’t already, this is a good time to try the DRY MODE setting on your air conditioner. It costs less to run than normal cooling mode because it mainly removes moisture from the air rather than aggressively lowering the temperature. Often, reducing the humidity is all it takes to make the house feel much more comfortable.

Drought Concerns Return to SakonNakhon

The year 2020 was widely documented as one of Thailand’s worst drought years in more than four decades. Unfortunately, signs are emerging that we may once again be heading toward a prolonged period of water shortages.

Rainfall so far this year has been disappointing, and the arrival of El NiÃąo is expected to reduce rainfall even further during the coming months and into next year. While no one can predict exactly how severe conditions will become, many experts believe the effects could become noticeable within weeks.


In June 2020, this reservoir near Nong Sa, Lao Po Daeng, showed just how quickly water levels can fall when rainfall remains below normal.

      
Climate agencies, including Thailand’s Office of National Water Resources and GISTDA (Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency), have warned that drought conditions associated with strong El NiÃąo patterns can persist for several years.

For farmers in Sakon Nakhon, water is everything. Rice fields, livestock, and household supplies all depend heavily on reservoir storage. 

As the dry season progresses, reservoir levels may once again become daily news, closely watched by both farmers and residents alike.

Thailand is going APP crazy


There’s hardly a task these days that can’t be handled through an app.

Before you even enter Thailand as a tourist, you may be expected to submit information through the THIM – Thai Immigration Bureau App. To leave the airport, chances are you’ll need a taxi app. Many businesses now prefer digital wallets over cash, and when hunger strikes, food delivery alone gives you at least five apps to choose from.

And that’s just scratching the surface.

New apps seem to pop up daily, each promising to make life easier, faster, or more convenient. In many ways, they do. But the category that has really got my tutu in an uproar (extremely agitated, flustered, frustrated) is television apps.

Watching subscription TV through a regular web browser is slowly becoming extinct. Increasingly, providers want you inside their app ecosystem. And apps don’t just deliver content — they collect data. They know what you watch, when you watch it, what you pause, what you skip, and how long you stay engaged.

Convenience comes at a price. We gain easy access, but we also surrender a little more control. Sometimes I wonder whether we are choosing the apps — or whether the apps are quietly choosing how we live.
