December 21 Hype


All the hoopla about the world coming to an end has left out an important fact. 
There are Mayan predictions of events on earth, hundreds of years in the future. It ain't over on December 21
Some people explain it simply that a new Mayan calendar begins.
Others explain that we are entering a new cycle

British TV in Thailand 10 Channels 600 ฿ per month


I've been watching overseas. television on the net for years.
Early internet rebroadcast websites were taken down by the US government.  Obviously they were pirated.
Some TV services, mostly news services, continue to stream their broadcasts free, while others are beginning to be  available through subscription (PAY service).
Here's a link I recently received:
  • Thai EXPAT TV 10 British channels for 600 ฿  monthly, or 6,000 ฿ annually + 300 ฿  Setup fee
I've posted other TV links in the header above.  If you know of any free or inexpensive internet television worth sharing, please post a reply

Cool Season begins Temperature dip


18C
Temperatures dipped below 20C for the first time this season.

I tend to have more energy at this temperature compared to feels like 40C.

Personally I would prefer a few days of 10C or below.
At that temperature mosquitoes die off.

Then of course Thais around here would dress as if they were on the north pole
and sit around their smoke pots

Now is a good time to plant some of those veggies which ordinarily do not survive in the hot climate
