16th century technique of blowing tobacco smoke into someone's anus "to get a reaction," to determine that the person was still alive.  This method was also used to resuscitate drowning victims.

Sakon Nakhon Hottest


This year has seen some of the hottest weather.
My latest electric bill attests to that.
A previous high of US$ 115 has been trumped this year with my latest electric bill (March 20- April 20) US$165

Even though there are plenty sunny days ahead, the monthly forecast for May foresees a lot more rainy days.

This is either a prelude to the rainy season, or the earliest start to the rainy season I've experienced (since 2003).

With rainy day weather you'd expect more moderate temperatures.  In fact temperatures will drop occasionally.  We won't notice it though.  For now high humidity will drive up the feels like temperature.
Feels like temperatures through mid May will stay in the low to mid forties.
